It probably has to do with the amount of $$ generated by football before and after the three broadcast tv channels was replaced by the cable services (primarily ESPN & Fox) that bid university/athletic dept. income into the stratosphere. From that point, it became just a matter of time before those responsible for this jump would demand their rightful share of this new wealth. Cue the lawyers . . .

The hits keep coming. I suspect more will come tomorrow.

Great information, as the Big-10 winning Mens and Womens Basketball AND Football? Currently UCLA is No. 1 ranked in Baseball...

Congratulations to No. 1 seed Michigan Wolverines for their basketball championship. And to the Illinois Illini for reaching the final four. Quite the accomplishment. Looking ahead at the way-too-early rankings for the 2026-2027 basketball season, there are SEVEN B1G schools in the top 25. No. 1 Michigan No. 6 Michigan St. No. 8 Illinois No. 14 Purdue No. 17 USC No. 18 Nebraska No. 25 Iowa. Just looking at that will give Duck fans a sinking feeling for the upcoming basketball season. In the PAC, Oregon only had Arizona and UCLA to contend with. Understandingly, attendance has been down. For B1G games, Matthew Knight Arena attendance was roughly 55% capacity. A lot of lost revenue for the school. In contrast, only USC, Washington, Rutgers and Northwestern have smaller arenas than Oregon. Switching to football, even though the Ducks fill the stadium with standing room only patrons, (59,000 plus) its still small potatoes compared to the other schools. Only Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland, Minnesota and Northwestern have small stadiums. And finally hockey. Guess who the No. 1 seed is for the "Frozen Four?" The Michigan Wolverines! How about that. And the Wisconsin Badgers are also in the frozen four. The B1G is well represented in football, basketball and hockey. For any Duck fan who enjoys hockey, here is the schedule: Thursday April 9th 2pm ESPN2 No. 2 North Dakota Bisons vs. Wisconsin Badgers Thursday April 9th 5:30 pm ESPN2 No. 1 Michigan Wolverines vs. Denver Pioneers Saturday April 11th 2:30pm ESPN Championship All games played in Las Vegas

There are up to 4 opportunities for exciting OOC games in the playoff. Texas is exhibit A; crush Texas State instead of losing to tOSU and they almost certainly make the playoff last season. Until there is a format change, OOC should be 3 regional cupcakes at home…imo of course.

Agreed. Presently there is little or no benefit for a Big Ten school to play a strong OOC game. USC shut down the Norte Dame series for that reason. The entire business model of college football has changed.

Did this game set the record for the most players with "Jr." at the end of their name in an NCAA Championship? Inquiring minds would like to know. (I counted 4)

Solid player but Georgia was merely a hat on the table as the Dawgs pursuit was tepid at best I am told. Why that is (was) I can't say.

It may be a mess, but I'll never understand why it took the judicial system 100 years to figure out the Sherman Anti Trust act was being violated. No amount of pendulum swinging wild, wild west and hand wringing will ever overcome that history. Players should share in the profits and should be able to unionize to guarantee it and participate in developing a level playing field across each sport. No executive order, legislation or other rich people method of enforcing their will should stand in the way of that goal.

Yeah, UConn had to beat up the Wolverines if they were going to slow them down. Michigan though was by far the best team this year.

Not too keen on the 1 transfer over the players ' entire careers. Almost anti American (btw I hate transfers, but every other college kid can move around, why so that's unjust to restrict the players). Anti Trust legislation is sorely needed. And contract enforcement should be priority umber 1. Multi year contracts at that. Finally, the scumbag lawyers (only the bad ones, not all lawyers) and Agents should be a massive part of the legislation. As in they should go to jail if they harm and misrepresent the kids and their families. Gordon Gekko, Greed is not Good.

My over flowing glass thinks it would be great to beat the guy. And a non-con would be a lot less stress than in the POs.

Hall is a Rivals 4-Star, and besides Oregon had quite an offer list containing Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Auburn....etc. Now you got me excited!

Sorry, Brother Steven, I demur with a B1G NO! Oregon's strength of schedule, ranked by College Football News among 138 FBS teams, is No. 6 in the nation. With a PO Committee that emphasizes losses, if you're not Alabama, there is no reason to step up out of conference. What did 3-loss Texas get out of playing Ohio State last season? Indiana played dog meat out of conference, and it didn't matter. This season, Indiana's SOS comes in at No. 50. It won't matter. If Indiana goes 10-2, it's in the field. OOC games, especially on the road at OK State and Baylor, are worthless, especially considering the money to be made from a home game vs. a G6 opponent.
