    We can't make the Pac 12 relevant because less than 50% of Us households have the the channel.  

    We need some money bag to get it to all of the homes in the U.S. By making up the difference in what the channel is willing to pay all the different carriers. 

     

    A merger of the B1O with the Pac 12 channels and show all the Alliance games, it'd be huge. I don't know If the ACC has a designated channel or not but if so the more the merrier?

     

    We could then negotiate as a collective with the networks of Fox, NBC and CBS to get even more eyes on the Alliance at optimal time frames.

     

    I don't know if this is even practical. Just some musings.

  2. I believe the key to Bo's season will be our line doing a better job of pass blocking. I don't believe they we good at it last year. Can Klemm get them to a point where they will excel at both run and pass.

     

    If they can I say the sky's the limit. We have never had the depth of every position group on offense that I can remember.

     

    I'd like to make a little prayer. Please make it August tomorrow.

  3. When In the pros a player makes it and gets his first big deal it seems a lot of them disappear for a long time. I wouldn't put money on it but I bet the same thing will happen in CFB.

     

    Earlier Duck Fan 76 mentioned Fair market value and I believe this is the kind of young man that we're looking for and will find. Not somebody who thinks; I want as much as I can get.

     

    I like the Mac Joneses of the world who took their time and put team first, worked hard, learned, bided his time and took it when he was ready.

     

    As Hayward has mentioned its "The Oregon Way".

    Let's say we find a diamond in the rough...a 3* that flourishes ala Mariota.  That transfer portal will be mighty tempting when you hear that TA&M or ? will give you $6 mil to transfer there.  No, Oregon must play the money game or flounder. 

     

    But as Charles says, enjoy the next 2 years before NIL gets completely out of hand.  Or you get tired of watching 18 year olds become millionaires, eschewing (mostly) the value of education, while you struggle to afford season tickets.  Or whichever comes first.

    Sorry Mudslide I have to disagree. we played in 2 nattys without out paying for players and should have won both except for some terrible breaks.

     

    Now with nil it's really gotten crazy. I would rather take the high road and do the right thing. Build our team with team players not some prima donna.

     

    I'm not saying don't offer anything but do not get into a bidding war were we waste our money on 1 player and then are not able to get other players that will be just as important. We know the portal will work, look at LSU with J Burrow.

     

    I believe the smart play is to get more information about how this is going to shake out before we make any rash moves.
