Apple Emerging as Media Partner for Pac-12 - Primarily Streaming
With no details it is hard to have a valid opinion. Duck streaming available on only Apple would be bad. The Apple whose products I have avoided for decades.

Why the Pac-12 Is Struggling to Get a Media Deal
It's not as if BYU would have been a solid addition. How many times have they switched their affilation in the past 40 years?

Report: ASU President Michael Crow On Record About Pac-12 Media Rights
While it has long been a problem that many Duck fans are unable to get many Duck games and streaming would correct that, there is a lot of exposure that comes from just being on the ESPN (or others) schedule. Long term it will probably be streaming that wins. As a track and field fan I have started to be annoyed that many events are now streaming and involve fees, sometimes sold for a year subscription that is not cheap.

Men's Basketball: 2/25/23 Ducks @ Oregon State (Ducks WIN 69-67)
I am very amused at the attempts to make the Beavs look good in the media. Extra articles in Oregonlive with positive Beav spins though they lost. Then this: "Before a crowd of 7,270 that included a reported Gill record number of OSU students". Sure, a small crowd boosted by pumping up the number of students means they could hardly sell regular retail tickets.

Federal Appeals Panel: NCAA Amateurism Claims "Unpersuasive"
"The panel’s decision, expected later this year, could eventually lead to college athletes gaining recognition as employees who are owed wages akin to their work-study classmates." More like a majority of sports will end up being cut for budget reasons destroying athletic departments.

Oregon Lost Peyton Bowen Because of Paperwork Mistake?
My first week at Oregon in 1967 there were a couple guys I met that dropped out because they were too frustrated by the paperwork. 18 year olds.

Not only that but you have to sign up for an account befor seeing price options. Not happening. Read somewhere it is $150 for a year.

BOOM! Bo Nix is Back for 2023!
Yeah, my first thoughts were about the O-line. His protection this year allowed him to perform at a very high level. Wednesday will tell.

Dilly's ASU Decision was Rash....Like His Coaching?
Fans seem to have no idea if it was the OC or head coach making the 4th down calls. Does anyone? Did Lanning blow it or the OC?

Bo Nix: Does This Mean He's Leaving?
Oregon could agree to agressively market him for Heisman next year and buy insurance. They have done this in the past. Billboard in Times Square.

WATCH: Dan Lanning's Post Game New Conference After Cal Win
I think the athletic department must be training Lanning in speaking. At the start of the year he sounded like a teenager but now he does not say "you know" every other sentence.
