    Reading between the lines of this On3 article, it sounds like he is retiring because he doesn't have the budget to compete at the top of today's CBB NIL world.

    He wasn't happy about not having the resources to retain top players or create a championship roster.

    Most of the revenue-sharing money has to go to football. Oregon basketball boosters don't have the money, or there aren't enough boosters interested in basketball.

    The same thing happened to the baseball team. By Big Ten standards, Oregon has a small number of living alumni.

    Today's CBB is a different world from when the Tall Firs won the first NCAA championship in 1937 with a win over Ohio State. I expect the Buckeyes combined CFB and CBB budgets dwarf Oregon's combined budgets.

    And getting a half-share of B1G revenue does not help the cause.

    Although it is a heck of a lot more than a full share of the PAC.

    JC, see the On3 article post above.

    I think Dana is retiring because he doesn't have the budget to compete at the top level of today's NIL-driven CBB.
