Every day I'm looking more and more like the guy on the photo far left. 😁

The Oregon Athletic Department is among the very few in the black. What is a Power 4's most valuable asset by far? Football game inventory. So, Saint Nick, what's your plan to bring in more money that could save many P4 programs that will not be included in a Super Conference? What's the plan to save non-revenue sports? Your plan to prevent a Group of Eight and instead keep millions of college football fans involved in the game? You have heard that Kirby Smart and Josh Heupel support a 24-team PO, right? Nick, it's really a 16-team playoff with eight play-in games. Your employer, ESPN, doesn't want the CFB playoff to expand? No conflict, right? ESPN is not going to support a playoff model that would end its exclusive broadcast rights and ding the value of its bowl game inventory featuring 6-6 teams going at it. That ESPN is even in the room with conference commissioners is prima facie evidence of Disney's ownership of the postseason and of its undue influence over the selection and seeding of the field. You don't want the PO to begin and end sooner. You don't want 16 postseason games played on campus. Don't you want the product you so artfully coached to bring in hundreds of millions more dollars? There are two ways to increase CFB football revenue: expand the playoff or leverage the value of the football inventory through private equity or private capital deals. Raising the cost of attendance coast-to-coast will be no more than a drop in a huge bucket. Is making the cost of attendance at games prohibitive for many fans good for the growth of the game? Sorry, Nick, and I don't believe you would suggest this, but I doubt that coaches will agree to a 50% pay cut, and players will willingly agree to a cap on NIL income. In my seven decades of watching sports, no sport has gone broke as a result of expanding the playoffs. The CFB PO tripled from 4 teams to 12 teams, and more people attended and watched P4 games last season than ever before. Nick, you are a businessman; how can you not see this? We're all anxiously awaiting your plan. What's that? Yes, relief could come from Congress, but not without you convincing the smarties that run things that the athletes sharing in athletic department revenue are EMPLOYEES. By the way, the United States of America, via the IRS, taxes the income earned by these non-employee student-athletes. Perhaps the NCAA, CFB, CBB, and college poohbahs should try a dose of substance instead of form. 24 should happen as soon as possible, in 2027-28.

Even if Danny Devito recommends the sub? 🤪

Move over, Corporal Klinger! Way back in the day, my Nana and I would go to a Hens game at least once a week and up to Detroit once a month to watch Al Kaline and the Tigers.

Thanks for the post, and thanks also, David, for the update. When it comes to the press, I think Coach Lanning is following the model of mentor Nick Saban, and when it comes to the media, Kirby Smart is not loquacious. Injuries? Unless compelled to report game availability, few coaches wax eloquent on the subject. Compared to the guy at UNC, Dan is a chatterbox. One of the best with the press was Oregon grad and USC coach John McKay. The man had a terrific sense of humor.

Finally, the NCAA punishes noted cheater and rules breaker Kirk Ferentz. Thank goodness for the Notably Clueless Assortment of A 🤬.

RB Jeremiah Love. Many of the mock drafts have Love going in the top 5. Pittsburgh is hosting the draft. The 1st begins on Thursday, 8 PM/5 PM, on ESPN and the NFL Network. The draft concludes on Saturday. The time between 1st round picks has been shortened from 10 to 7 minutes. Eight Ducks are expected to be drafted.
