The Pac-12 Conference CEO Group voted to approve “further exploration” of four universities for possible conference expansion, I have learned.

'A complete and utter mess:' College athletics in turmoil as model changes, revenue streams dry up The collegiate model is changing and revenue streams might soon be too shallow to adequately fill the growing money pit. Name, Image, and Likeness laws have led boosters to trim donations to athletic departments so they can instead pay players directly through NIL deals. Before that philosophical shift by boosters, the average operating deficit among FBS programs was $18.8 million in 2019. Departments were already struggling thanks in part to the introduction of cost-of-attendance stipends in the mid-2010s, when schools began paying players. More recently, the NCAA began allowing universities to pay players academic bonuses tagged as high as $5,980. Only 22 of 130 FBS institutions chose to do so in 2022, according to ESPN. Many administrators are pinching pennies, preparing for what they believe is an inevitability: the day student-athletes become student-athlete-employees at universities. It’s the most significant financial threat to the collegiate model, and the walls are closing in as the NCAA continues to lose antitrust lawsuits.

Will Richardson's name is now in Oregon record books, and is unlikely to be removed It’s unlikely that we ever see a career like Will Richardson’s ever again for the Oregon Ducks. That’s not because it’s been filled with endless unforgettable moments, or accolades that will have his name littered throughout the record books in Eugene. Rather, it’s because, in the new world of college basketball, where the transfer portal is ever looming and the pathway of “one-and-done” has become the norm, there are simply few players who will have the patience to stick around. On Thursday night, Richardson made history by becoming the first player in Oregon history to play in 145 career games. Before him, both Jonathan Lloyd and Payton Pritchard had reached the 144-game mark, but with 5 years under his belt, and a handful of games left to play, Richardson took the belt. Oregon Basketball: Will Richardson’s record unlikely to be broken DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Will Richardson made history on Thursday night, and it’s a record that is unlikely to be broken any time soon.

Kelly Graves says Ducks would play in WNIT if NCAA Tournament doesn't work out It remains unclear what the postseason will hold for the Oregon women's basketball team, but Kelly Graves made it clear following Thursday's Pac-12 Tournament loss to Stanford that his team would be playing regardless of what tournament they're included in. While the latest ESPN bracket projections have the Ducks as the final team inside the field, they remain anything but a lock to go dancing. Should the Ducks be excluded from that tournament, they would accept a bid to an invitational tournament like the WNIT, Graves said on Thursday. "My philosophy has always been if somebody wants us to play, we're going to play. So, that's a yes," Graves said when asked about a possible WNIT opportunity. "I think the team would rather play. I've never understood why people turn things like that down on some kind of principle."

Ducks now last team within NCAA Tournament field in latest ESPN projection It's too early to say if Oregon's done enough to reach this year's NCAA Tournament field, but at least one media outlet thinks the Ducks would be in the field should the season end today. ESPN's Charlie Creme posted his most recent bracket projections on Friday morning, and now has Oregon as the final team within the field as a 12-seed. The Ducks would face St. John's in the opening four games in Creme's projection. Per Creme, the Ducks opened the week as the final team outside the field entering this week's conference tournament. A win over Washington, another bubble team on Wednesday, provided them enough juice to get over the hump this time around. Oregon's resume is a confounding one. Sure, the Ducks are 17-14 on the season and finished with a losing 7-11 record in conference play, but they also have far and away the best computer metrics of any team currently on the bubble. Even with the 14 defeats this season, the Ducks are No. 19 in the NET Ranking after Thursday's Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinal loss to Stanford.

Tyrone Williams' team-first approach draws high praise from Dana Altman Tyrone Williams arrived at Oregon this offseason with high expectations to be a regular rotation player for Oregon after starring as one of the junior college's most prolific scorers in the last few seasons.
