Early Enrollee Spring Rewind: Tyler Turner Here is a breakdown of what Oregon true freshman Tyler Turner showed during his first spring football camp. Today, we continue this series with safety Tyler Turner. Recruit Stats: 4-star prospect / 354th-rated overall prospect /34th-rated safety Height/Weight: 6-foot / 180 pounds Outlook this fall: One of two prep safeties to arrive in time for spring, Turner's first months on campus appear to have been productive ones. His position coach Chris Hampton referred to Turner as "fearless" and said he has the makings of a leader on the back-end. The freshman didn't record any stats in the spring game though, and it would be a surprise if he plays often on defense this fall. The team returns two battle-tested safeties in Steve Stephens IV and Bryan Addison and has also added transfers Evan Williams and Tysheem Johnson to the room too. Because of that, there won't likely be a spot in the two-deep for either freshmen safety in 2023.

Since we're on the subject of NIL, thought I will add this as well. I agree, guidelines need to be created. Why college football is entering a 'golden age' with NIL deals Ask college football fans about their thoughts on name, image and likeness (NIL) in collegiate athletics, and you will likely get a mixed bag of responses. Some are in favor of it, some are against it, and others — like FOX Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt — believe its both great that college athletes are able to capitalize on it, but acknowledge that there are still plenty of issues to work out. "NIL has created a golden age of college football and I believe we are at the dawn of that golden age," Klatt said on a recent episode of his podcast, "The Joel Klatt Show." "College football has never been better." Klatt's reasoning for calling this the "golden age" is due to the depth of talent in the sport. Athletes being able to capitalize on NIL has created an incentive for top-notch players to return to college as opposed to making an early jump to the NFL. Why college football is entering a 'golden age' with NIL deals WWW.FOXSPORTS.COM Joel Klatt explains why name, image and likeness has created a golden age of college football due to the depth of talent in the sport.

Here is the article Pate was referring to: How an unfinished TV deal led to an unexpectedly hectic first month for the new Big Ten commissioner How an unfinished TV deal led to hectic month for the new Big Ten commissioner - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM New Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has been sprinting to finish his league's massive TV deal -- and key athletic directors and coaches aren't happy with the details.

Another article about media rights deal situation. At this time who knows what is true and what isn't. Marchand is usually a good source. The PAC-12’s fight for a new media deal continues to look very bleak. Commissioner George Kliavkoff has been doing his best to land a new deal for the conference, but so far, nothing has come to fruition. The PAC-12 is holding out hope ESPN might come in and save the day with a huge check. There had previously been reports ESPN wasn’t interested in the PAC-12’s tier one media rights, but there was some dispute at the time how accurate that claim was. ESPN hasn’t moved on the PAC-12. Now, it sounds like the situation definitely hasn’t improved between the two sides. Andrew Marchand, one of America’s best reporters when it comes to sports and media, reported Monday the two sides “are having no substantive talks at this time.” “ESPN passed on the Big Ten, Sunday Ticket, Premier League, Champions League and MLS, so the idea that it will be completely out on the Pac-12 is not in the least bit surprising. Things can always change, and maybe the Pac-12 can figure out a creative way to get ESPN involved, but right now that seems very unlikely,” Marchand explained in his Monday report.

The conference reportedly isn't making progress with ESPN.

Early Enrollee Spring Rewind: Iapani Laloulu Here is a breakdown of what Oregon true freshman Iapani Laloulu showed during his first spring football camp. Today, we continue this series with offensive lineman Iapani Laloulu. Recruit Stats: 4-star prospect / 342nd-rated overall prospect /18th-rated offensive lineman Height/Weight: 6-foot-2 / 355 pounds Outlook this fall: The younger brother of Faaope Laloulu, Iapani is an interior offensive lineman unlike his brother. You won't find many more widely built than "Poncho" (his nickname), who undoubtedly possesses the necessary heft to play at this level already. Despite what teammates and position coach A'Lique Terry describe as a strong first spring, it would be a big shock if Laloulu sees the field often in 2023. The Ducks have more experienced returners and also added two transfer offensive guards with ample starting experience.

Social media stunned after No. 2 UCLA eliminated from NCAA softball tournament Upsets happen all the time in the NCAA tournament. Whether it’s basketball, baseball, or lacrosse we see Davids beat Goliaths all the time in collegiate postseason play. However, what we don’t see all the time is the No. 2 seed in the tournament not making it out of the opening weekend, especially in a double-elimination format. But that’s what happened to the No. 2 UCLA Bruins this weekend. After losing to Grand Canyon on Friday night, the Bruins were upset by the Liberty Flames on Saturday in a stunning 2-1 loss. The last time UCLA was eliminated from the regional round of the tournament was back in 2013. That was the third season in a row in which they failed to qualify for the super regional. The stunning upset opens the door for San Diego State to advance if they can beat Liberty in the regional finals on Sunday. The winner would then face the winner of the Salt Lake City regional between Utah and Ole Miss. Social media was buzzing Saturday evening at the elimination of the UCLA Bruins and here are some of the best reactions.

Hotline mailbag: ESPN's move to streaming (what it means for the Pac-12), the wait for SDSU By Jon Wilner What are the media rights implications for the Pac-12 (and college sports) resulting from ESPN selling its main channel directly to consumers as a standalone streaming service? — @MattZemek For those who missed it, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that ESPN will indeed become a direct-to-consumer offering. Yes, the main network is being turned into a streaming platform, just like Apple and Amazon, Peacock and Paramount … and ESPN+. When the transition happens — it's undoubtedly years away — all the college football content owned and licensed by ESPN will be available on streaming. Which would seem to undercut the narrative that the Pac-12 is doomed if the next media rights deal includes a streaming component. Which is what the Hotline has been arguing all along: The Pac-12 is not doomed if the media rights deal includes a package of games on streaming. It's only doomed if the media deal doesn't include games on ESPN. There are two reasons the conference must have a contractual agreement with ESPN: — Because of the reach provided by the pay-cable ecosystem (although that would be rendered moot if the flagship ESPN network becomes a streaming platform). — Because a contract with ESPN would force the network's highly influential studio shows to talk about Pac-12 games, interview Pac-12 players and coaches and show Pac-12 highlights. That's the real value in a partnership with ESPN: the brand-building component. Hotline mailbag: ESPN's move to streaming (what it means for the Pac-12), the wait for SDSU WWW.KSL.COM Once ESPN becomes direct-to-consumer, streaming will be mainstream.

Saturday afternoon was a big day for the Oregon Duck football program as they secured commitments from 4-star defensive lineman Xadavien Sims and 4-star quarterback Michael Buren. The commitments vault the Oregon Ducks into the Top 5 in the national recruiting rankings, now opening the door to a question. Can the 2024 recruiting class become the highest-rated class in program history? That honor currently goes to the 2021 recruiting class that signed 23 recruits, and four 5-star prospects and finished with a 287.67 ranking under Mario Cristobal. The short answer is yes. The Ducks are in a position to make a run at that class ranking and sign its top class ever. The finish over the next seven months will decide how close Oregon gets there. With latest commitments in the fold, can Oregon now go for its best class ever? 247SPORTS.COM The Ducks are in a position to now ask the question: Can they sign the best class ever?
