I agree with everyone above please, please, anything but Apple TV. That being said I think Amazon is the only real partner that will boost pac-12 viewership to new levels and they are the only ones with the infrastructure to seamlessly make it happen. The big difference between linear and streaming is I have to pay 100 plus dollars a month for Dish Network or I can pay $130 a year for Amazon Prime which I have already have for other reasons, so basically free. Even if they were to increase their subscription this by double I'm still saving a whole lot of money and I could really care less about all the other channels besides the sports channels, so why should I pay for them. Not sure this will happen but at some point in time teams may get paid in a true internet model of getting paid by the view which would greatly increase Oregon piece of the pie.

I do like that he let the team have a say in it but I'm not sure doing it in public is the best decision for team continuity. This might create animosity between players based on how they voted just like in politics. A better way of doing this might have been to poll the team in a secret ballot and release the kid in private. This would create accountability for the players and the team without causing divides.

Moga's deep balls are anything to behold, great touch and accuracy. In his Junior year highlight video he makes a lot of perfect deep throws hitting the receiver in stride. I think the main reason that he was underrated was due to the number of drops from his receivers which didn't translate into stats. Glad to see the QB position looks stocked for the future.

I'm really hoping the biggest streaming partner is Amazon. They have a huge subscription base, a whole lot of cash and not to mention the infrastructure to properly stream the games at 4k resolution. Apple may seem attractive to some but with their history of not playing well with others I would prefer to see it go to just about anyone else.

Just like the NFL Network time will take care of this. My Dad has a prime account but still didn't watch because he didn't know how to stream on his TV. He dose now as I've showed him how to do it. I personally didn't watch Thursday night football games for years after the NFL Network took over.

Great year with a nice postseason run. The coaching kept the team humming in into the tournament. What could have been, the Ducks were looking unstoppable in the mid season before all the injuries.

With The Ducks O they never seam to be out of the game. Great Game, they never gave up just like they've done all year! This team is scrapy with can do attitude, credit to the coaches creating a tightknit Team.

That's exactly why I Like it.

8-5 after 4 innings, Ducks coming back from 8-0. The Game is on ESPNU is just starting to get good!

Time to get it going, Ducks have faced worse.

Grinsell is looking good, time to get those bats going.

USC vs Notre Dame 6.68m Oregon vs Georgia 6.2m I should have been more concise in my original post. USC plays the team with the second largest fan base in all of college football every year at primetime on national TV. Living in Montana historically it been much easier to catch a USC game than an Oregon game on TV due to the coverage by the networks. All's I'm saying is Oregon should have more viewership than they do. I for one will definitely not be watch USC vs Michigan or Ohio State. I would much rather watch two PAC teams play, that is if I can actually get them on the TV.

Only fitting that Oregon "Uncle Phil" be on the cutting edge again.

I have no sold data on this but I imagine USC probably had more prime time spots with more nationally televised games. Just the Noter Dame game, every year, alone should give them a major boost to there viewership numbers. As Charles has stated the PAC 12 Networks have done Oregon no favors in viewership numbers. Just have better distribution would increased the number substantially.

I have to admit I was a little confused by what that article was getting at as currently you can watch all the games ESPN has on ESPN+ streaming. Did it allude to ESPN+ featuring games from other networks?

This is what you get now that college football is big business. Players are getting paid NIL money and maybe sooner than later they will get payed by University. Couple that with universities want to get paid 60 or 70 million a year and that money has to come from somewhere. I'm just hoping after this initial phase the streamers will consolidate down to two or three. I'm willing to wager that at some point Amazon or competitor will start offer a package deal on sports coverage similar to modern-day cable but streaming. At some point in time the 32 team mega conference will probably have its own DTC streaming service thus cutting out the middleman altogether.

I'm liking the pitching rotation, using lots of pitchers for short stretches keeps your options open and your arms fresh.

Wow how about that pitching and sold D by the Ducks. They look like they did midseason, very efficient with all weals turning, no errors in strategy or judgment. The hitting has been sold all year, seams like records are falling left and right!

I'm starting to think Nishida might be good at DAT role on the football field lol.

Betcher looks the part of a safety to a T, literally a center fielder!

Got to love that Duck O. Keep those bats swinging!

Just joining the game, sounds like it's just getting good!

They're definitely better in a lot of sports than Colorado is. Football's definitely better, basketball way better and baseball doing pretty good. Not sure about the other sports but the first 2 is all that matters to the media.

Unfortunately your 100% right. Other options might be you have to buy the outrageous expensive comprehensive game coverage mega package!

Thanks for the replays, had to listen on Internet radio while I worked. The pitching down the stretch and a few errors on Xavier made all the difference in this one.
