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/

Photos, reactions from blue-chip recruits on OVs for Oregon DucksThe official visit season started in the college football recruiting world over the weekend, and the Oregon Ducks kicked things off in style. There was a long list of elite prospects in town to check out the program that Dan Lanning has built, including a number of 5-stars, and several prospects who have already committed to Oregon. At the moment, the Ducks have the No. 15 class in the cycle, but they are thought to lead or be in serious contention for a number of the best players in the nation. Over the next few weeks, expect the class ranking to greatly improve. Over the last several days, we've seen glowing reviews come from players on social media, and a number of looks at photoshoots from the visits.

Jon Wilner Explains Why College Football’s Super League Era Is Already Beginning

TEXAS TECH Must BEG Their Way Into BIG TEN and Say GOODBYE to the Big 12!Texas Tech eyes a seismic shift—should the Red Raiders abandon the Big 12 and push for a coveted Big Ten spot? Bolstered by billionaire alum Cody Campbell’s oil-fueled investment and record-breaking NIL deals, Texas Tech’s rapid football ascent positions them as a prime target for conference realignment. With the Big 12’s $39 million payouts lagging far behind the Big Ten’s $80 million distributions, does staying even make sense for a powerhouse on the rise? Craig Shemon examines exit fee math, Texas Tech’s bid for AAU accreditation, and whether Tony Petitti’s Big Ten would welcome a new Texas footprint. The episode also covers the fallout from Brendan Sorsby’s costly gambling suspension, the looming Sports Protection Act in Congress, schedule updates that could anger Ohio State fans, and a look ahead to key Big Ten classics. Does Texas Tech truly belong in the Power 2 landscape? The discussion is just heating up. Is Cody Campbell actually trying to pull Texas Tech out of the Big 12? Does Texas Tech have a legal way to escape the Big 12 Grant of Rights early? Is the SEC a more realistic landing spot for the Red Raiders than the Big Ten? Can a single billionaire booster rewrite the rules of college football?

Could college athletics see relegation like the Premier League, or will tradition—with teams like Ohio State, Michigan, and UCLA—hold firm amidst swirling changes?

In-state recruit sets Oregon visit following decommitment from ArkansasIt's always a good idea to try to keep your state's best products close to home. While the Oregon Ducks have continued to recruit nationally in the 2027 cycle, earning commitments from players in 11 states, they have made a greater effort to keep Oregon's top high school talent in the Pacific Northwest. The Ducks made that clear by offering three-star tight end George VanSandt back on May 7. Just a few weeks later, the Central Catholic star is reopening his recruitment. On Wednesday, VanSandt announced his decommitment from Arkansas and scheduled an official visit to Oregon for June 5. VanSandt committed to the Razorbacks in April and was supposed to be in Fayetteville for an official visit this weekend. Now, those plans have been called off. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/recruiting/2026/05/28/oregon-football-recruiting-george-vansandt-arkansas-decommit/90297184007/
