Big Ten Commish: The Conference Could Expand Beyond USC, UCLA
More from Kevin Warren. Guess the LA pair will be playing a lot of night games at home. Securing two of the West Coast's top collegiate brands in advance of the Big Ten's new media rights deal potentially opens the league up to capitalize on the late-night TV window, giving the league four TV slots each Saturday instead of the traditional three. Warren said the league is "finalizing our deals" and added that he expects an announcement "sooner than later" on a new media rights deal that is expected to be in the neighborhood of

USC to Join Ohio State as 'Big Two' of the Big Ten
Don't forget Ted Tollner, Larry Smith, John Robinson (second edition) and Paul Hackett. Before Riley seven of their last eight coaches fired since 1982. The only exception snuck out of town under a thundercloud of suspicion and sanctions.

Reports 24.5 Million Per Pac 12 Team From ESPN
Is that the reported amount from ESPN? If so it doesn't include revenue from other sources, like the Pac-12 network. I looked at the reporting for fiscal year 2019-20 (pandemic year). That broke out television rights fees as $96 million from 'Network' and $265 million from 'conference' for a total of $361,867,380. Any financial experts care to translate the numbers? Pac-12 announces 2019-2020 financial results PAC-12.COM Consolidated revenue reported at $534M with total distributions at $403M, increases of 1% and 4% year-on-year Seven-year period since start of ESPN and Fox partnerships and launch of Pac-12...

San Diego State Seen As Essential to Pac-12
I'm confused. The ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12 members received roughly 50% revenue compared to the B1G and SEC. Conventional wisdom said there was no way they (ACC, Big 12, Pac-12) could compete--they were doomed. Given the above how does a new conference member become competitive if relegated to a 50% revenue share? Don't the same financial parameters apply?

San Diego State Seen As Essential to Pac-12
Dante Moore, Detroit, MI 5* Ashton Cozart, Mound, TX 4* Dante Dowdell, Picayune, MS 4* Tyler Turner, San Antonio, TX 4* Colin Gill, Washington D.C. 3* Nearly half of our commits are from regions where Oregon doesn't have a "presence". Granted it is easier if they visit an area every year but keep it in perspective. A quick glance at the current roster shows about 34 players from outside the Pac-12 footprint.

USC, The Paper Powerhouse.
Can Caleb Williams avoid injury or illness? Miller Moss is #2 on the depth chart "Overall in 2021, he completed 8-of-13 passes (61.5%) for 74 yards with 1 TD and had 3 rushes for minus 14 yards (-4.7 avg)." After him are they looking at a true freshman?

From a goducks.com bio... The program’s recent plug-and-play success can be traced to Kelly’s first season in Eugene, when Oregon was forced to start four different quarterbacks over the final four games due to injury in 2007. Kelly, then serving in dual roles as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, tutored the final signal caller of that bunch, redshirt freshman Justin Roper, who turned in a near flawless performance in guiding the Ducks to a 56-21 Sun Bowl win over favored South Florida. The 48-year-old Kelly served as New Hampshire’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 1999 through 2006, where his offenses averaged better than 400 yards of total offense in seven of his eight seasons and more than 30 points a game in his final four years. As a result, three Wildcat players received first-team All-America acclaim each of his last two seasons in the Granite State.- Canzano: Mailbag Deals With Big 12 vs. Pac-12, Hot Pretzels and the Fate of Gonzaga

Still a tough battle. For several weeks the majority opinion, among well-informed and credible recruiting experts, has been Haynes would choose Georgia, while 5-Star, running back, Richard Young would commit to and later sign with the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Richard Young to Alabama thinking has not changed with the decision by Justice Haynes. What is surprising is that Haynes is openly recruiting Young to join him in Tuscaloosa. By all counts, Richard Young is the No. 1 running back in the 2023 class. Not many lower-rated recruits work hard to get a higher-rated prospect in their position group to come to the same program.
