Look...I dislike Larry Scott as much as anyone else...but he pulled this together and the idiot school presidents turned down a BILLION? For only 15% equity? Good grief, Larry pulled off the "Con-of-the-Century" if the presidents had agreed to it. He really fooled the private equity people, but.... Canzano: Pac-12 turned down $1B offer to sell equity stake in conference WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM Conference ADs say they're galvanized. How much do they get paid? And they're smarter than us?

I would agree that it looks great, but I've been surprised before!

The article hints that the loss of the Cowboys could be a fatal blow to the Big-12, and perhaps the Pac-12 could attract a few Big-12 members to join us?

Add this breadcrumb from Coach Locklyn....(provided by David Marsh in another thread) I like the TV shows our coaches watch!

My friends....I was just sent this by OBD member mrspenny--how Richard Young has changed his Instagram to where he is wearing an Oregon uniform? (Green arrow is my addition)

Big-12 is Europe in the Risk Game....hard to hold and attacked from all directions. The Pac-12 is like North America...you get a decent number of armies for holding, but rarely do you win starting from that position?

I do not think we are paying top-NIL-dollar... Oregon Will Not Pay Top-NIL for QBs: Should They? FISHDUCK.COM I was reading on another Oregon site and received some disconcerting news: Oregon is not in the top NIL bidding for the best of the 2023 quarterback recruits.

Whew! "Getting out there and seeing the facilities, the best facilities in the country, I believe," Moore said. "Everything is updated and [Nike founder] Phil Knight has put so much money into the university. Everything that's at the university is going to help. People that go to Oregon get the best throughout their whole process of being there because they have every tool you need to better yourself."

Well, if that happened....I cannot even imagine the reaction from Oregon fans. Talk about a roller-coaster of emotions these days!

If I am a recruit on offense...between what you hear of what Dillingham wants to do, and now a QB is there who is special? Sign me up! C'mon...You Should Be Dancing! (Gosh I loved the BeeGees)

Great humor makes you laugh and cringe at the same time. I ❤️ Axel....

Wow. Will you admit that you would have suggested Oregon to leave with a difference of that much? "Former Fox Sports Network president Bob Thompson estimates that the Pac-12 would have commanded a $500 million-a-year television deal in the next round of media rights negotiations. That would have given each Pac-12 member an annual distribution of $41.6 million. With the move to the Big Ten, USC and UCLA will receive more than $71 million annually."

Cross our fingers for the 5-Star QB!

Let's see...when was the Dante Moore announcement time and channel? (9:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST on ESPN, Friday) And which coach would benefit the most? Gotta love a coach with a sense of humor...(The reruns are Notre Dame and Michigan, while The Price is Right... is Texas ATM!)

Oregon is ahead of USC and UCLA? And Miami, Florida and Notre Dame?

Good! Oregon softball adds former state 6A Player of the Year Alyssa Daniell WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Daniell, a native of Happy Valley, is coming to UO after beginning her career at Loyola Marymount. Softball Welcomes Three Transfers - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM Joining the team are a two-time Southern Conference pitcher of the year, a two-time all-West Coast Conference honoree and a starting outfielder from a Duke squad that advanced to the 2022 NCAA...

While the onside kick was a questionable call...the bottom line is that Oregon still had to execute. How did Paysinger get 10 yards open on a 20 yard pattern...and so easily? To preserve the win...Oregon had to BLOCK the OU field goal? Oregon had to earn that victory as well.

When he left....no "thanks" on Twitter to the fans or to Cristobal. He just got-the-heck out of town as fast as he could. I believe he was constrained by you-know-who as Moorhead was.

Wowsa. The drama never ends...at least for a while. I wonder how Mari will feel about Miami not being invited?

I know a new rival! To quote Axel…”You can’t spell SUCK without USC in it!”

Important information in that article about TV market size...

They are now up to 16 verbals, with only ONE 4 or 5-Star player? Yikes! In 2022, that would have placed the Huskies at anywhere from No. 46 to No. 65 in the final standings... 2023 Team Rankings N.RIVALS.COM The definitive source for all Rivals news.

He is a 5-Star on Rivals, and could certainly boost the recruiting for the Ducks. He is on the show sometime between 9:00 and 10:00 AM...Whew!

Agreed. If people see it happening on the field...it will show up in recruiting as well.

Our Beloved Ducks currently have 10 verbals with half or five, being 4 or 5-Star rated recruits at Rivals. If this trend continues, (and I believe it will) then when Oregon gets to 25 verbals, we should have 12 of the coveted 4 or 5-Star players. If that happened, then the Ducks would break into the Top Ten ,or be pretty darn close if you look at last year's final standings or those of 2021. Now my preference would be closer to 14 of them, but if we have a 5-Star or two among the 12--we could break in there as well. I believe that the longer Lanning and this staff are here--the higher we will rise in the rankings no matter what conference we are in! Jurrion Dickey
