And Erik Skopil at 24/7 thinks there will be more, but not Paopao or Rogers

I think we should all now refer to our former coach as Mari, since he doesn't use the O.

Kinda DOA with Mari(no)o

Dickie V finally woke up.... Dick Vitale Hearing About Rampant “Cheating” In College Basketball WWW.MSN.COM ESPN’s Dick Vitale has been hearing a lot about cheating with regards to the transfer portal. Vitale tweeted out that he spoke with a coach in college basketball and how it’s pretty widespread. He...

Back East they know, that is why they say O-regone.

There were 2,646 FBS players to enter the transfer portal during the 2020-21 transfer cycle, sources said. That was up from 1,692 in 2019-20 and 1,717 in 2018-19.

Alex you ask "Do you believe it’ll settle once the nation has grown accustomed to the new NIL regulations, or has the NFL’s superstar empowerment movement put us past the point of no return?" "Settle" is an interesting word. I do not think things will settle down, I think new wrinkles will continue to develop and we will grow accustom to unsettling. And Yes, we are past the point of no return with player power in college football. We have survived it in the pros (for those who still watch) and now will learn to survive it in college or just turn off the damn TV (Amazon prime reading anyone?). Lastly, I really hope we NEVER see the refs protect the star players like they do in the pros (I'm looking at 3 and 1/2 steps in basketball without traveling calls unless you're an unproven rookie, and Tom Brady not being allowed to fall on his ash without a flag). As of now we already see it in regard to refs being afraid of some coaches so those teams get favorable calls.

Aren't those first three words the GOAT? Who cares if it was women's tennis? Ducks Sweep UW on Senior Day - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM Oregon swept past Pac-12 leader and No. 20 Washington, 4-0, in Sunday's home regular season finale.

Or, a less stubborn Chip. If you can't move Farley, go around him!

2 things, don't forget L.A. and, eternity isn't long enough.

Sounds like the Pac 12 Network is just the same as ESPN ...... in 1979. A fun read on Wikipedia for those who weren't around at the inception/conception.

Or, does enrolling without playing a down in a game allow another free transfer? And then will accepting NIL $ count as playing in games if your NIL $ is tied to your school? So many questions, so few brain cells to come up with answers.

So now, take 15K per 85 scholarship FB players, and the $723 avg will shrink substantially for the "rest" of the FKA (formerly known as) student athletes. Plus, I think Sedona Prince is well into 6 figures.

The following is a Q and then answer to a Duck Territory Quack Chat: Q: With subpar NIL can Oregon compete with the likes of the SEC, SC? A: Yes. They don't have subpar NIL. Division Street isn't spending money like monopoly money. They are doing it stratgeically. Do we forget that KT got a United Airlines deal last year? Or that all of the football players made over 15K this year for shoes that were sold, and in that process all of Oregon's other athletes in other sports got cash. We know that the women's program has been getting deals with the Pape Group as well. So, I'm sure without guarantees, FB recruits are going to be aware of the 15K and the POSSIBILITY of more.

Maybe he just wants to get away from the smell!

And as I recall, Graves was quite giddy about her prior to the last two seasons.

Part II A more in depth article from Matt Prehm at 24/7. Looks as if Dana knows this year "just didn't work". Oregon men's basketball faces an offseason of change they look to retool and reload for next year 247SPORTS.COM There will be change within the Oregon men's basketball program this offseason. The only question is how much change will we see from one of the nation's most consistent

I'm not sure Manny Diaz would agree.

And, now April 8 is a BIG date.... Five-star OL Josh Conerly sets announcement date, time 247SPORTS.COM Seattle (Wash.) Rainier Beach 2022 five-star OL Josh Conerly Jr. has locked in his announcement date, time and location...

It will be interesting to watch these mega NIL deals over the next few cycles. Not only the locker room situation of haves and have-nots, but boosters will want/demand a ROI (return on investment). After a couple of mega busts, coaches might not be able to go back to the well. A & M’s approach of $50K per O-lineman seems a better situation, spreading the wealth and spreading the risk. Oh, and it could devolve more and more into the pro situation with the players making more than the coaches. Will players take “lip” form someone making less, or give lip to them. We have already seen a player holding out for spring practice for more NIL, we are now only waiting for the “prize” recruit to get his coach fired or he’ll leave. Don’t laugh, you heard it here first.

So, tweak the system with transfers? This is the first year in a while that they didn't gel. Demand more early, no laurels allowed, everyone starts as a 1*?

I never like to blame refs, but there was a couple of calls vs Ducks very late that were questionable. But that last sequence was a real head scratcher, where was a double screen to free a 3?

Right on. He has supplied the facilities and the salaries for the coaches. We can't be at the top of the big three sports every year. Very true, and thank goodness we have him and Penny, plus many others.
