Not so sure, once Larry became a duck (LAME), Prez Schill decided to put him out of his misery and protect the Duck brand. I wonder how soon after ASU prez Crow got the memo he informed his Siamese twin/ joined-at-the-hip bestie, Larry?

Looks like our own Michael Schill deserves inclusion on our Christmas card list to instigating some of this. 'Please be discreet:’ Pac-12 records show more about commissioner’s exit in 2021 WWW.MSN.COM Emails shed light on how public messaging was managed behind the scenes of commissioner Larry Scott's departure from the Pac-12 Conference in 2021.

Oregon Ducks ‘still in the planning phase’ for new indoor practice facility WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The athletic department is still ironing out details of the project and a timeline for its construction, which was announced to be completed in 2024.

Have no idea how it got that name. Oh yeah, politicians. I think "Death to California College and Olympic Sports Act" is more accurate. Radical CA bill on college sports fails to clear Senate committee WWW.MERCURYNEWS.COM SB-1401 would have changed the economics of college sports in the state if it had become law.

I am Ok with "pistol plunges on third-and-one!" It was the pistol plunge on third-and-a-lot-more-more-than-one that drove us crazy(ier).

Can't wait to see Dj and him, plus the rest of the front 7 wreaking havoc.

Missouri's legislature has just sent a bill to the Governor to allow any athletic department official -- including coaches -- to assist with NIL deals. It seems the first tenet of the NCAA's interim [NIL] policy is you have to follow your state's law. That would suggest, if a state gives the ability to do that, the NCAA doesn't have any ability to enforce any restrictions. So, existing laws in Louisiana and Illinois are undergoing amendment conversions that would allow booster involvement. As the article states, "it's a race to the bottom...." Fissures already appearing after NCAA's attempted crackdown on NIL from boosters, collectives WWW.MSN.COM Enforcing its updated rules will be a tall task for the NCAA

24/7 Sports National recruiting analyst Greg Biggins thinks so.

So far, a two-run home run hire with the potential for a grand slam (have to wait for the new media rights contract, hopefully we'll have a new analogy, a five-run homer). We have to remember, Larry was fast out of the gate with a record breaking media deal. Unfortunately, it was all down hill from there. I am in favor of the Alliance vs immediate expanded playoffs since that would have given ESPN too much power, which in turn would further empower the SEC at this time.

Best part about this kid, he is a TEAM guy .... “We’ve known for a long time,” Dowdell’s stepfather Lawrence Hopkins said. Dowdell just wanted to wait till the end of his spring season before going public, keeping the steady flow of colleges coaches to come by the school to see his teammates while they were going through camp."

The article is complete BS. Why, you may ask. Because it did not address the fact that an expansion last year would have given ESPN a monopoly on the rights for a few years starting immediately. By delaying, there will be competitive bidding by Fox, CBS and whomever may decide to come to the table. As we know, competitive bidding means more $$$ for everyone. So, while the premise of the article is correct, it leaves out the most important piece of the pie. Of course, since the SEC and ESPN share the same sheets, Stankey ignored the peeping elephant in the room. So, short term, Pac 12 & Big 12 lose, long term we'll get back to the table.

This article throws a lot S at the wall with no real answers, what a surprise.

Title game change should probably be instituted by Pac 12 ASAP.
