Will bring Big 12 to 18 schools. Could the Big 12 for all pretense and purposes, for this one year only, are given the opportunity to add all these schools at the 31.7m according to the contractual agreement? It would be great if this could happen.

I guess these little signs of Brutus and Puddles were foretelling.

Dan Lanning shares how he utilizes SWOT analysis to improve Article written by:Grant Grubbs grant_grubbs_ College football isn’t necessarily a business, but Dan Lanning runs his team like one. On Wednesday, the Oregon head coach discussed how his staff uses a SWOT analysis to evaluate the team. “It’s really just going through your strengths, weaknesses, right? What are the obstacles in front of you? And what are those threats?” Lanning told the press. “That was really an offseason study. But I would you could argue that we do a SWOT analysis every day after practice, too. So we’re going to go in here and watch this last practice, figure out what we did well [and] figure out what we didn’t do well enough.” A SWOT analysis is a strategy often utilized in the business world. SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. During fall camp, the Ducks are figuring out where they stand in each of these categories. With 65% of the team’s production returning, Lanning and Co. already know the answer to some of these questions. For example, the Ducks showed weakness as the season progressed last year, losing two of their final four contests. For that reason, Oregon is using the SWOT analysis to not only set up short-term goals, but long-term goals too. “You’ve got goals that last for an entire season. You’ve got a goal for today. What am I going to improve on today, right? I think you just have to be really open and honest about what those look like. But yeah, you have long-term goals. You have short-term goals, and you have to be able to assess and change them,” Lanning said. The Ducks undoubtedly share one goal with every team in the country: reach the College Football Playoff. In 2022, Oregon was in the hunt for a CFP spot until QB Bo Nix suffered an ankle injury late in a November matchup with Washington. Consequently, the Ducks lost the lead, the game, and any hope of a spot in the CFP. Regarding the short-term, Lanning has a specific challenge for his team. “I want to see us play fast. I saw that in moments, and then I saw moments that it wasn’t as good, so it’s something we can continue to improve on,” Lanning said.

Pac-12 insider details the 'glue' holding the conference together as reported Big Ten offer is weighed During a segment with syndicated radio host Dan Patrick, Canzano explained that any time Board of Regents meet that there is buzz around the league. And that’s happening on Thursday night in Arizona and Washington. That is the case even though Canzano told Patrick that a member of the Pac-12 CEO group told him that there is enthusiasm internally. Canzano said while the media rights deal presented earlier his week was initially underwhelming, however, there is an added layer to it, and he’s unsure if a new partner came into the picture. “Oregon is expected to get a reduced share invitation to the Big Ten Conference, could come as soon as this morning, mid-day today,” he said. “We know the Big Ten is open to that conversation internally and there’s a lot of eyes on Oregon.

From Jon Wilner: Pac-12 survival: Are Oregon, UW, Stanford and Cal worth the investment for the Big Ten? Let’s say the Northwest powers agreed to a laddered revenue structure like this over the Big Ten’s contract: Years 1-2: quarter share Years 3-4: half share Years 5-6: three-quarters share Year 7: full share That’s two years at $16.5 million, two more at $32.5 million, two more at $48.75 million and one year at $65 million, for a total of $260.5 million. Multiply that times two schools, and a media company would need to shell out $521 million to make the math work for the Huskies and Ducks to enter the Big Ten at reduced revenue shares for the entirety of the seven-year contract cycle. (Please note: Our numbers are estimates. The Big Ten’s contract includes an escalator clause, meaning the payments start well below the estimated average of $65 million average amount and end well above.)
