    Ty Thompson Enters Transfer Portal

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted · Edited by AllOregon

    Truly wish Ty the best. Great character.

    But when 2 different well respected coaching staffs just decide you are not the guy for what is needed at this level, that is the opinion I trust most.  Can’t possibly see him as a B1G starter for any contender.

    Federal Lawsuit to be Filed: Discrimination, Disparate Treatment of Beach Volleyball, Club Rowing Teams

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted · Edited by AllOregon

    Ok. This one is close to my heart. So I am going to intentionally stay a bit vague as to not cause waves.  

    First, I have zero knowledge of facts or connection to the women”s beach volleyball team.  So this is zero comment on that situation.

     

    However, this offers ONE opinion on the general situation, so here goes.  I can offer this.  My daughter plays for a UO woman’s sport, albeit not a “premier” one.

     

    The university had been beyond supportive.  To the point of “wow”.  Both from my kid’s perspective and mine as a parent of a student athlete.  Resources are not ever present,  iBut communication on approach is.  She was recruited coast to coast and chose UO because of the environment.  It has exceeded all of our expectations.

     

    Go Ducks.

    Sure, but $10M/yr for 7 years will probably kill Cal Football, esp. if they continue to underperform...  Furd got deep pockets, but not sure the culture there will tolerate long-term losses either...  Interesting to see what happens.

    Completely  agree.   I just meant I can see why they jumped to stay in a power conference when it is clear Pac is no longer one.  Even though the $ sucks.

    👆Exactly.  
    Networks wanted to shed the dead weight, why pay $30M each for Beavis and Coug.

    Then starting with Colorado, the recent 6 that left the Pac decided the same thing.  Getting watered down by low value partners.  Sad but smart.

     

    Sure sounds like Stanford and Cal will be officially gone any hour now.

    Do not forget the $34M buyout for any MWC team is highly prohibitive. Especially for a Pac4 with no media $.   It is not as easy as it sounds to just bring some on board.   Most likely is a full conf merger or absorption.  Cal & Stanford clearly do not want that even though keeping it open as an option, given ACC does not yet have the votes to add them.    Feels OSU & WSU might be MWC bound and with no negotiating leverage.  Not even sure the $4m a year per team  MWC media deal gets increased with expansion.  But Feels a better option than AAC.
