Ducks win 5-2, as Devin Bell gets another save and closes the game out. Bats came alive late--after the Wolverine starter hit his pitch count. Rubber match Saturday morning at 9:00 AM PST on B1G+, and the game recap will be below in a few hours.

5-2 Ducks after eight innings. Drew Smith hits into shallow LF, and steals second later. Angel Laya sac-grounds out to move Smith to third. Maddox Molony does a very short bunt, but the throw to home was errant, so Smith scores while Molony gets to second. A wild pitch moves Molony to third, and a hit by Burke-Lee Mabeus through the left IF scores Molony. Mabeus steals second, and Ryan Cooney hits up the middle to score the very-fast Mabeus from second. Tanner Bradley gave up a couple of hits and a run...but now it is CLAMP-TIME for Our Beloved Ducks going into the ninth!

2-1 Ducks after six innings! Burke-Lee Mabeus got a lead-off double from hitting to the LF corner, and Jack Brooks sac-bunted him to third base. Ryan Cooney slips a single through the left infield to score Mabeus! Tanner Bradley comes in to pitch for Oregon and put them down quickly...1-2-3

0-0 after one inning. Oregon had chances with two on base, but both got caught stealing. Collin Clarke is dealing from the hill, and put them down 1-2-3...even with some drama about a first base call that went Oregon's way when Waz challenged it.

Streets is a Rivals 4-Star, and had offers from most of the SEC. In addition to Oregon, other notable offers were from Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame, USC, and Georgia. Not all that offered, but an elite group!

Pursuant to the House settlement, next season's ceiling on direct payments to athletes is $21.5M. At least 80%, $17.2M, will go to the football program, which accounts for over 80% of the Athletic Department's annual revenue. As disclosed by Yahoo in the above post, $10M was the minimum spent by successful programs. If direct payments correlate to what a given sport earns in gross revenue, 20% in the case of men's basketball, the remaining $4.3M would go to Altman's team. I do not believe the Moneyball sports receive all of the direct payment money. If this is the case, boosters would need to raise approximately $8M to assemble a men's basketball winning roster. After buying the talent, you have to hope that the new players gel and everyone stays healthy. The shortfall in roster money for men's basketball illustrates today's college sports conundrum: Where will the money come from to pay for sports that are not in the black? Other than football and men's basketball, in 2024, the only profitable program in the Big Ten was the Minnesota men's hockey team. The historic Big Ten schools have living alumni that dwarfs the number of living Oregon alumni. And every school has well-heeled alumni who care about athletics and write big checks. Many programs have a football stadium close to double the size of Autzen Stadium. Football teams play seven or more home games. (In 2027, instead of another lay-up out of conference game in Autzen, OBD is playing at Baylor, playing only six home games. This is a B1G money mistake.) Compared to the Pac-12, football and basketball in the Big Ten are an in-conference grind, travel, and competition-wise. You will not win a basketball championship in the B1G on the cheap. With far bigger athletics budgets than Oregon, how many Big Ten schools are competing for football and basketball championships every season? Not many. Are the Ducks boosters interested and invested enough in Oregon men's basketball to fund NIL deals sufficient to buy championship Football and men's basketball rosters? And where will the money come from to support non-revenue sports? A businessman, Tony Petitti, comes up with a 24-team football playoff format modified to not include automatic qualifying teams. Tony supports increasing the NCAA basketball tournament field. The man is vilified by many who want athletes to be paid but have no idea how to raise the additional money necessary to pay for the Moneyball sports rosters and to also field non-revenue teams. Vilified by people bemoaning the destruction of tradition that, if you are paying attention, has been destroyed by the capitalization and evolution of college sports. It's time to stop the fiction. Athletes being paid directly are employees. Accordingly, athletes can form a union(s) and negotiate with 'management' to rein in the costs of college sports. Expanded playoff fields in football and men's basketball should happen ASAP. The House settlement was another attempt to keep the NCAA in place. The settlement was stupid, ridiculously expensive, and many programs never intended to follow the terms of the settlement. In today's college sports, can Oregon field Moneyball rosters and also field non-revenue sports?

Looks to be between 9 and 11 mil to me to get this up and running.

Unless Oregon throws money to the basketball program like they do the football program, they will be small potatoes. But as the article states, even blue bloods like Kentucky, (22 million) doesn't guarantee a trip to the final four. Coaching, chemistry, an injury free season all play a part of it. Signing players outside the power four conferences and power four bench warmers isn't going to cut it. What's needed is two studs and three very good players for the starting five and a deep bench (four players) to take it to the next level.
