Preview and prediction for Oregon vs. Texas in Super RegionalTexas is a powerhouse program with six championships, the third-most in the country. The Longhorns haven’t won it all since 2005, but the program has made a record 38 trips to Omaha, the latest in 2022. It won’t be easy for the Ducks to take down the SEC force, but if they do, Oregon could be among the favorites to win it all in Omaha. Let’s take a look at what type of challenge Texas presents in the super regional. PredictionThe Ducks should be able to slug homers out of UFCU Disch-Falk Field, which is fairly short to right field. I think Oregon wins the series in three games if they can knock Texas’ top starters out of the game early https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/baseball/2026/06/03/oregon-baseball-texas-super-regional-preview-prediction/90378583007/

College Football Playoff Dates Make Dan Lanning’s Argument Hard to IgnoreThe College Football Playoff released its schedule and there is a 52 day gap between the conference championship weekend and the national championship game. Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning has made his feelings known on the College Football Playoff calendar and structure, calling for changes to shorten the time between games and end the season earlier. In Lanning's ideal world, the CFP National Championship Game is played on Jan. 1, which would align much better with the academic calendars, transfer portal, and coaches who are looking to take a different job.

Football: Offensive Line ChatterWho’s starting, who’s in if injuries rear their head? It’s no secret that Oregon football is expected to have one of the most potent offenses in the nation this coming fall, with a bevy of talent at all the skill positions and a returning top-tier quarterback. But any offense begins and ends with the line, and the Ducks must have theirs in place to develop chemistry and execution on the field. Unlike many positions, an offensive line generally cannot be plugged with transfers and expected to work just as well. Not only that, but preparation for dealing with injuries is a must, as they will happen throughout the season inevitably. Based on the current roster shape and spring ball, the starting offensive line could be the following: LT - Fox Crader (RS So) LG - Kawika Rogers (RS Sr) C - Iapani Lalolulu (Sr) RG - Dave Ilui (RS Sr) RT - Michael Bennett III (RS Sr) Addicted To QuackFootball: Offensive Line ChatterWho’s starting, who’s in if injuries rear their head?

This article is under payed site. This is what I can see. Don’t know anymore than this. So far the Oregonian is the only one reporting this. A key member of the University of Oregon football team’s coaching staff was charged with DUII and reckless driving after a late-night incident in April. Just before 2 a.m. on April 12, Ducks assistant head coach and running backs coach Ra’Shaad Samples, 31, allegedly backed his 2026 Ford F-150 into a parked car near the intersection of Willamette and West Broadway streets in Eugene. There was damage to both vehicles, according to a copy of the DMV crash report obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive. When an officer from the Eugene Police Department arrived on the scene minutes later, the responding officer concluded that Samples was under the influence of alcohol, based on his visible condition and statements, according to the DMV records. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/06/oregon-football-assistant-coach-charged-with-duii-reckless-driving-after-april-incident.html

😳 This is why BIG Ten or any school should stay clear of the private equity pitfalls. Utah Sold its Soul for Private Equity. The Layoffs were Always ComingThis is what happens when you make a deal with the private equity devil, when panic supersedes sensibility and all that’s left is an all users emailand a skillfully-worded statement from a public relations hack trying to put out a fire. Gee, who could’ve seen this coming? A public university, desperate to stay relevant in an ever-changing college sports landscape, sells its soul for private equity cash. And now here come the layoffs. “In preparation for the growth of Crimson Brand Partners, the university has begun the process of transitioning select units of some university operations to the new company. The first step of that process requires the discontinuation of the individual positions in those units through a reduction in force (RIF), to be followed by CBP’s hiring process.” This is the problem with inviting the private equity wolf through the door: No matter what moves are made, it’s seen through the lens of green and greed. The university will retain a majority ownership of CBP (estimated at 66%) commercial operations, including but not limited to ticketing, licensing, NIL sales and sponsorships. Otro gets an estimated 33%. The only way this thing works is if — and it’s big IF — Utah makes a boatload of cash in a college sports environment currently drowning in the deep end of inflation. A college landscape, mind you, that changes by the month and is wildly unstable. But it takes all 10 FBS conferences (including the SEC and Big Ten) to earn a projected significant spike in media rights fees, and the SEC said last week it will keep its individual deal. The Big Ten is expected to the do the same. A more dangerous scenario for Utah: The bill doesn’t pass, and the SEC and Big Ten are emboldened and break away as a collective unit to avoid the next bill(s) trying to prevent further conference expansion and a Big Ten/SEC breakaway (which the current bill stipulates). https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2026/06/01/utah-athletics-cuts-staff-layoffs-private-equity-deal-mark-harlan/90348256007/
