I believe the $10 million is after the fiscal year of this report? Not sure. But, the posted report does include $8.25 million "institutional support." I believe that is how money has been funneled to OSU athletics in the past. The Legislature allocates money to the university, which then does a bookkeeping transaction to athletics. Without the $8.25M, then there would be no surplus which the column says was $7.43M. In the report revenues, there is a line item for both media rights and conference distribution separately. Would be interesting to know whether some of that is "bag money" from Judge Libey's decision.

It will be interesting if there is a publicly reported salary for Chip in Las Vegas. He was $2 million base at Ohio St, and garnered $850K in bonus money for this season on top of that. He, or Raiders, have to pay tOSU $350K to secure his departure. Though, he likely has a sack from his termination money with the Eagles and 49ers which gives him freedom to make his own choices. His UCLA salary wasn't low ball, but living in L.A. wasn't cheap. He was 61 in November. Breaking: I just read a NFL sports writer's Twitter that says, "lured with a deal averaging $6 million per year" making him the NFL's highest paid coordinator.

An interesting box score. Rebounds, fouls, turnovers, free throws, assists, blocks - all about equal. very close But, here's the shooting stats: 2-pt shots: 22 of 28 Huskers, 19 of 40 Ducks 3-pt shots: 4 of 23 Huskers, 5 of 20 Ducks SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM UO 71, Nebraska 77

When they aren't scoring...being rewarded with baskets during play on offense...they lose heart on defense and slack off instead of being tough. Nebraska is now 14-8, 2-5 on the road Big Ten: 4-7,1-5 on the road Ducks 16-6 Big Ten 5-6 at Michigan at Mich St Northwestern Rutgers at Iowa at Wisconsin USC Indiana at fuskieland then B1G tournament If 20 wins is threshold for NCAA Tournament, not sure how they get there 20 wins in 2022 is fewest Altman has had with the Ducks

It is the 51 week anniversary of being hired at Ohio State. I wonder if his wife ever moved from L.A.?

Feb. 5 is the traditional "signing day" though most now commit in December. With both Knowles and Kelly leaving wonder if there are any recruits having second thoughts about their potential choice?

The 3 seasons Carroll and Kelly overlapped at USC and Oregon: 2007 - Oregon 24-17 at Autzen 2008 - USC 44-10 in L.A. 2009 - Oregon 47-20 at Autzen - Pete's last season before Seahawks. At that point in time, the 47 was the most ever scored by Oregon vs USC. Later Chip teams had 53 and 62 on USC. Then, after Chip, 48 and 56.

Here's an old story about Droughn's early life. Tough situation he was in. A lot of "column white space" so if you open the link just keep scrolling down to get to the end.

Some great names on that memory lane. It would be interesting to see a couple stats on each one. 1) what percent of total offense was their individual rushing yards 2) what percent of total rushing was their individual rushing yards To the degree a RB was carrying the team...vs other running backs or vs passing yards...I think they should get some credit. Having a bunch of yds when the whole offense was explosive may not be as impressive as a guy who was the grinder, the go to? A guy who was a star on a 10-2 team who we all remember because it was 10-2, may not be as much the "best" as a guy on a 8-4 team that had to be the man every game? For example, in 2024, Jeanty had 77.3% of all rushing yds. And, 42% of BSU's total offense (including a few receiving yds he had).

In the "olden days" prior to 1968, the AP Final Poll Rankings were before the bowls. For example, in 1964 Alabama was 10-0, ranked No. 1, then lost to No. 5 Texas in the Orange Bowl, and finished 10-1. At the same time, No. 2 Arkansas was 10-0, had beaten Texas in Austin in the regular season, then went 11-0 beating No. 6 Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl. The AP Final Rankings: No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Arkansas. If the 1968 and later approach had been in effect Arkansas would have a national championship, and Alabama could boast one less. Arkansas does not have an AP No. 1 in their program history. Between the first AP ranking in 1936 and 1967 there were 6 situations like Alabama as I recall. Another one: In 1960, Minnesota was No. 1 and lost to No. 6 Washington in the Rose Bowl. Undefeated (and 1 tie) Ole Miss won the Sugar Bowl. Minnesota has the 1960 No. 1 ranking.

Margin of defeat to UCLA goes into the records of the last 50 years: 2024 - 52-78 = 26 - worst defeat vs UCLA for Oregon with Altman 2009 - 68-94 = 26 1987 - 71-102 = 31 1975 - 66-95 = 29 Ducks vs Bruins Instant Reactions: UCLA dominates Oregon DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Ducks vs Bruins Instant Reactions: UCLA dominates Oregon men's basketball

35-23 - halftime 55-40 - end of third 63-59 final - MSU got it to 58-55, after Ducks led 55-38 in third The Ducks first win over a ranked team on the opponent home floor since 2021 when they beat No. 7 Beavis in Corvallis. Former Duck Grace Van Slooten had 14 pts for Michigan State. MSU had 59. Duck Sarah Rambus from Flint, Michigan had relatives at the game. Played 13 minutes, 5 points. Flint is about 50 miles from both East Lansing and Ann Arbor. Next game at 9:00 am PT (Noon ET) on Sunday at Michigan. Early starts can be tough, but players will get back to Eugene at a decent time. Conference at this point: 8-0 - UCLA (20-0), USC (18-1) 8-1 - Ohio St (19-1) 7-3 - Maryland (17-4), Michigan St (17-4), Oregon (16-5) Duck's 3 B1G losses: USC, at Illinois, at Ohio St

The team being punished is officially stripped of its victory, but the opposing team retains its loss—thus, vacated victories are different from forfeits, in which the losing team is given the win. When the NCAA forced a team to vacate a game the result is moved from the win/loss record. If a team went 4-7 for a season and had to vacate the 4 wins, their record becomes 0-7 for that season. One of the confusing aspect of vacating games is that causes no adjustment to the opponent’s record. If that 4-7 team beat a 6-6 team, the 6-6 team does not “get a win” (for a 7-5 record), nor is the loss wiped out (for a 6-5 record). That team’s record stays the same at 6-6. In Washington's case, the 14-1 record would remain 14-1 and not be 14-0 or 15-0. When they had a 12-0 regular season record, they were ranked No. 3 behind Georgia and Texas. After the Pac12 championship, they were No. 2 at 13-0. If the pre-1968 AP Poll rules were still in effect...which was a final ranking before the bowls...then UW would have been No. 2 in 2023, and Oregon would have been No. 1 in 2024. But, the AP changed their process beginning the 1968 season to conduct a last ranking after the bowls. UW had a "magical" season in 2023. They won 7 of their 14 wins by a TD or less, including all of their last 5 wins. Just like Oregon, UW has had 3 No. 2 AP final rankings, but never an AP No. 1

It's not part of the Q&A but one other question to ponder.... How many college head coaches will leave their position and take an NFL job? Names? So far in the 2024 season, 7 NFL jobs have opened and 6 have been filled. All 6 came from other NFL jobs, or were "retired" from a recent NFL job. KC's Andy Reid will be 67 in March. If the Chiefs win a third consecutive Super Bowl? And, on a slightly different note, Ohio State's D-coordinator job has had 3 NFL coaching names raised as possibilities.

It's hard to get to 3 straight. The NFL likes "parity." 1967-68 Green Bay Packers 1973-74 Miami Dolphins 1975-76 Pittsburgh Steelers 1979-80 Pittsburgh Steelers 1989-90 SF 49ers 1993-94 Dallas Cowboys 1998-99 Denver Broncos 2004-05 New England Patriots 2023-24 Kansas City Chiefs 2-1 1972-74 Miami (L-W-W) 2-1 2017-19 New England (W-L-W) 0-4 1991-94 Buffalo

2-1 1972-74 Miami (L-W-W) 2-1 2017-19 New England (W-L-W)

Besides Kwiatowski (58), the two current secondary coaches at tOSU are considered candidates. Parker is 61, has been at Iowa since 1999, less likely. Kwiatowski at Texas since 2021 after stints at Boise State and Washington.

I wasn't able to watch, but someone who did said they thought Bittle might have been playing while sick? Next game is Thursday at UCLA. If he has "road flu" hopefully he gets home tonight and spends time in bed. If you ever traveled on business trips you can relate to "road flu" as a real thing.

Bittle had a rough day. 24 minutes, 0 points. Was 0 fo 3 on FGs, and 0 for 2 on FTs according to box score. Would think that your center would draw more fouls than that? Not just fouls on shooting attempts, but when making rebounds. Didn't see the game, so don't know what was happening other than the stat line.
