    Shouldn't Our Women's BB Coaches' Fanny Be Red-Hot About Now?

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted

    I think his seat should at least be toasty warm.

     

    Listening to the 24/7 podcast, they stated that some of the WBB transfers were for NIL reasons.

     

    Not that that is the sole reason for the spiral.

     

    I think Graves should be given one more year.  The BIG will be nowhere near as tough as the Pac 12 was this year. 

     

    Six teams in the top 18, played an unbalanced schedule with starting point guard lost for the season after 5 minutes of play and other players having to play out of position.

    Interesting Stat, Only 1 of the 21 Coaching Hires in 2018 is Still on His Original 2018 Job

    wanted to

    That is Rice's Mike Bloomgren.  You say you never heard of him.  Well, his 22 -46 record is probably why.  So, the lesson learned is that if you want to get paid for not coaching, don't take the Rice job.

     

    Sorry I couldn't get the article to show up properly.  It may be due to being 1 of 4 free articles per month on SI's site.

     

    Cut and paste will have to do until someone else can get it to post properly.

     

    Why the 2018 College Football Coaching Cycle Was a Flaming Disaster - Sports Illustrated

    Four with Oregon connections: Scott Frost, Willie T, Mari, and Chip.  Five if you count Joe Moorehead.

     

    And then there are the others with "Pac" backgrounds: Jonathan Smith, Sunny Dykes, Herm Edwards and Kevin Sumlin

    NCAA Doubles Down on Stupidity, Studying Possible Sanctions against Compliance Officers, ADs, Presidents and Chancellors.

    favicon.ico NCAA Committee on Infractions exploring change to possibly penalize ADs, presidents and others

    SPORTS.YAHOO.COM
    The committee is discussing levying suspensions on more school officials in infractions cases, including compliance officers, athletic directors, university presidents and chancellors.

     

    I'm pretty sure the NCAA members will vote unanimously for this one.

    ESPN Extends Exclusive Playoff Broadcast Rights

    At over 1 Bil a year for 11 games, nice payout for the conferences/teams that make it.  Gotta make sure Notre Dame doesn't make the playoffs and keep 100 mil per game to themselves.

     

    I think we are going to see:

     

    1)  A revolt of the teams making the playoffs not wanting an equal share for the conference bottom feeders/non qualifiers.

    2)  I believe the Ducks and ewe dubs 1/2 shares are not subject to football playoff $ or NCAA units, so this will replace the steaming $ (not streaming) Kliavkoff promised.

    3)  Plan on ESPN trying to eventually put the playoffs on a pay per view/ add-on ESPN service.

    B1G Saturday Tradition - 'Oregon in 2024 Will Have the B1G's Best Roster' and Other B1G Takes from Matt Hayes

    From a Buckeye site . . . "When factoring in transfers, the Buckeyes have the No. 3 recruiting class in the country and the second-highest average player ranking behind only Georgia. Oregon is the only other Big Ten team (yep, that’s going to take some getting used to) in the top 10 at No. 4. Penn State is No. 14, Michigan is No. 18, and USC is No. 20. Nebraska and Wisconsin come in at Nos. 23 and 24 respectively.

     

    Love that, plus compare our DLine haul to theirs:  Assuming that Kirks does sign with OSU today, he will be the 21st scholarship player in OSU’s class and the ninth in the top 200 of 247’s Composite Rankings. He would join five-star Eddrick Houston and three-star Eric Mensah as the only defensive lineman in the class (Houston is an EDGE rusher, while Mensah and Kirks will play inside), but given that Jack Sawyer, J.T. Tuimoloau, and Tyleik Williams all opted to return, the lack of defensive line reinforcements isn’t as big of an issue this cycle — but it absolutely will be in 2025.

    Thanks for the article, David.

     

    I like the thought of the other conferences laughing at the Pac demise and now having to suffer the unintended consequences of their cannibalism.

     

    I think we all would love to see former Pac 12 teams claim the B1G and Big 12 this fall.

    Senior Bowl Thread

    This is the minor bowl games 2.0 with all the opt-outs.

     

    I guess you use the system to show off in practice and then sit if you think you did enough.

     

    Maybe the sponsors should offer $ per play you are on the field.

    Expanded Playoffs Down to 11 Teams, or So Says Deion

    Great beginning "Deion Sanders’ mouth is already writing checks his team can’t cash" and then ending to article "So buckle up and get ready for another season in which Colorado will be the biggest story in college football that everyone will forget about a few weeks later."
