    Oregon's offense is the best in the Big 10. What about nationally?

     

    Oregon with QB Dillon Gabriel at the helm and weapons like WRs Evan Stewart and Tez Johnson should have the best offense in the Big 10. Can they replicate their offensive production from 2023? On today's episode of Locked On Ducks,

    From the Huskies:

     

    "If Bama calls, Lanning is gone in 60 seconds."

     

    "Lanning would leave a vapor trail out of ewegene."

     

    "Lanning is as good as gone to Bama......"

     

    "I think there are plenty of jobs Lanning would leave UO for. Eugene is a sad town to live in."

     

    "UO players have 30 days to transfer after Lanning takes Bama Job, thus Sounds like Lanning is a done deal to Alabama and expect a mass exodus of players. Time to roll out the red carpet..."

     

    "I’d expect Oregon to go after Jedd Fisch, but I’d much rather have Lanning there."

     

    "You're never going to be a legend at Oregon and nobody will ever give you the credit for your ego because Uncle Phil is buying it for you, so and shoot your shot and try to go and build a dynasty at Bama."

    So funny, Washington actually predicted their own fate!

    Pete Thamel reveals why Big Ten, SEC not under same financial pressure as Big 12, ACC

     

    As news has emerged that the Big 12 is both considering a private equity investment for a stake in the league and it is shopping its naming rights around to potential suitors, the question of why the big push for additional revenue has occurred has jumped to the forefront.

     

    It's pretty simple, truth be told.

     

    The league is trying to make up a significant (and growing) revenue gap with the likes of the Big Ten and the SEC.  Neither of those leagues have yet hinted at any sort of hobnobbing with private equity or shopping for naming rights, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.

     

    WWW.ON3.COM

    ESPN insider Pete Thamel explained why the Big Ten and SEC aren't under the same pressure to get creative raising money as the Big 12.

    You have to admit, Big 12 commish is pretty enterprising jumping on the advantage of getting more financial stability for the conference.  This is just the beginning.  More conferences will try and jump in on this.  So now we are in the era of "Let's Make A Deal."

     

    The proposed deal with a Luxembourg-based firm would bring a massive influx of cash to the league

     

    Big 12 teams are currently earning $31.7 million each with Fox and ESPN in a media rights deal that ends in 2031.  Add in the cash infusion from private equity, and the two revenue streams would combine to move the Big 12 “much closer” to the Big Ten media rights deal, according to a person with intimate knowledge of the proposal.

    The Big 12 is reportedly considering selling its naming rights to a title sponsor in a deal that could generate hundreds of millions.

     

    Pete Thamel: Big 12's pending naming rights deal 'the slow NASCAR-ization of college sports'

     

    Unprecedented news broke in the college athletics landscape on Thursday when ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that the Big 12 Conference would be exploring potentially sell its naming right to a title sponsor in order to generate more revenue for the league.   With Allstate already named as a negotiating parter with the conference in a deal that would make the Big 12 the Allstate 12.

    Why SEC, Big Ten championship games could be a ‘screw job’ for loser

     

    Things are going to be very different for college football during the 2024 season.  There are new-look conferences and a 12-team College Football Playoff, which while adding more teams will surely lead to some unforeseen controversy.

     

     

    WWW.ON3.COM

    The Big Ten and SEC will assuredly send multiple teams to the CFP, but the seeding could be dinged for the title game losers.

    Oregon Football after ANOTHER QB in 2025? 4-star Ty Hawkins set to visit

     

     

    Oregon has one of the most loaded QB rooms in the country with a clear succession plan after Dillon Gabriel in 2024.
