I'm asking this seriously, as I really have no idea--how much difference is there in how 4-star recruits pan out in comparison to 5-star recruits?

This. Both on the academic/presidents level, but also I remember Bellotti saying BSU could recruit players that PAC couldn't because BSU had a lower grade standard.

I don't see Portland or Hawaii games selling out, except possibly if the tickets prices for those games are extremely low.

Great point how even though we get annoyed about those pac-12 after dark games constantly and how the east coast doesn't watch them which hurts our national perception. 

 

But... Those games are still watched by a lot of people on the west coast. A 7pm start time is kinda nice for home viewing... I've had a whole day to do things and then end my day with the ducks. 

 

Also... My one year old goes to bed around 7 so that is free time and time I can pay full attention. 

This early bird hates night games. I will manage to stay up for a Duck night game, but I don't watch any other team's night games.

For the Steph-Sabrina showdown you’ve got to go with the WNBA line. That, of course, gives Steph the edge….but no excuses should he lose.

 

Not to take anything away from Sabrina, whose record setting performance may never be equaled, but my money is on Curry.

Interesting. My thought is that if you go with men's NBA line the edge would be to Steph. But if it's the WNBA line, no advantage for either. We need two contests for a Steph and Sabrina showdown. One at the WNBA line, and second from the NBA line.

The last rumor I heard (and I've already forgotten where!) is that the PAC deal will include both linear and streaming. Maybe kind of like the way NBC already has many shows on both NBC and Peacock?

College has 2 lines...women's is less than men's, high school maybe?

Could be, but more googling yields: Moving women's 3-point line to the same distance as international competition and the college men's game starting in the 2021-22 season.

 

If true, it's fairly recent.

I do wonder where the 3 point line would be if this was to happen, is it the 20'6" WNBA line or the 23'9" NBA line, does make a difference. 

According to Google : The NBA 3-point line is 23.75 feet from the hoop, 22 feet in the corners. The FIBA 3-point line is 22.15 feet from the hoop, 21.65 feet in the corners. The WNBA uses the same 3-point line as FIBA (so, 22.15'). At the NCAA level, the 3-point line distance is 20.75 feet, for both men and women.

[Canzano: Waking Up to East Coast Bias]

I've always thought that PAC-12 After Dark translated to PAC-12, Afterthought.

 

Except for Duck games, I don't stay up to watch games that start later than 6 pm. And I sell my tickets to games that start late and stay home, watch in my jammies, and make the 20-second walk from the family room to bed as soon as the game is over.

 

I know that games that would start as early as 9 am here would be terribly inconvenient for most Duck fans, so, even if I had the power, I would  not set that as a starting time for any games. But, being an early bird, I'd have no problem being in the stadium that early.
