Thanks Darren for the article. As you pointed out, Pac-12 needs to be creative in order to survive. Hopefully expansion will help along with a good streaming/linear media package. Just to put things in perspective about Apple. Apple tops any company, including Amazon and ESPN/Disney, etc. Even if you combine Amazon, Meta and Alphabet, Apple is greater. Apple is 454 billion dollars larger than Amazon and 90% of entire countries. Don't have to read these below, but wanted to show the strength of Apple financials. One area, I'm sure, Apple wants to and needs to improve immensely is in the media market. The iPhone manufacturer's value leapt by one trillion dollars in just 16 months, even though global economy shanked. This is just my opinion, think about all those iPhones out there if Pac-12 is on the Apple TV app. Yes, Apple needs to improve in the media market shares. If they are pushing to gain ground in the TV market world, how long do you think it will take for them to get there? From what I can see maybe not long. Whether Apple is involved in negations or not, they have the financials to out-bid any competitor, if so chooses. At this point let's hope the Pac-12 will put together a decent media contract. I would prefer a short contract, no more than 5 years. Would also like to see incentives for schools who do make the playoffs, etc. They should get a greater share of the money. Maybe not get stuck in some enormous buyout if they choose to leave the conference. The reality is down the road, shake ups might happen again with conference realignments, but at this point no one knows what the future will hold.

Excited to announce two big additions to the staff Brian Michalowski will assist with Inside Linebackers, and Mike Cavanaugh will bring 30+ years of experience to the Offensive Line. Oregon officially announces hires for ILB and assistant OL coaches 247SPORTS.COM Oregon officially announced two hires to Dan Lanning's coaching staff on Monday afternoon, bringing in Brian Michalowski to coach inside linebackers and Mike Cavanaugh as an

Hi Haywarduck. This article that came out back in January by Erik Skopil stated the coming season will be 75% Dan Lannings added players. Hope this helps. Whenever a new head coach takes over a program, it's suggested that patience will be required before judging the hire until he builds a team of his guys. Not much patience is required these days. Thanks to the advent of the transfer portal and the elimination of signing class size restrictions, schools can retool rosters much quicker than in the past. Dan Lanning inherited a roster of mostly Mario Cristobal's guys with a mixture of Willie Taggart and even Mark Helfrich recruits sprinkled when he took over in late 2021. One year later and Lanning is in the process of turning over the majority of the roster. The Ducks have already signed 28 prep recruits and have commitments from six transfer portal players to boot. The additions seem far from over, as the Ducks remain real players for a handful of top unsigned high school players and are also pushing for more transfer additions too. Scholarship math is tough this time of year, but it seems likely that when all is said and done, and the 2023 roster is set in stone, that around 75 percent of that roster will be made up of players brought in by Lanning over what will be a 20-month span.

Hayes: Sources convinced Big Ten isn't finished raiding the Pac-12 So we’re going to continue with this charade, this exercise in futility, despite the inevitable. The Pac-12 may soon sign a new, undervalued media rights deal. The Pac-12 may soon believe it has saved itself for the time being. But ladies and gentlemen, the Pac-12 isn’t long for the new college sports landscape. “If anyone thinks the Big Ten isn’t coming back for more, they’re not following along,” an industry source told Saturday Out West this week. The official end of the wildly underrated Pac-12 arrives when the Big Ten finds a media rights partner — network or cable television, and/or a streaming service — to foot the bill for the conference to add more schools from the Pac-12. Because the Big Ten isn’t leaving USC and UCLA alone on the West coast. It must protect its investment. Hayes: Sources convinced Big Ten isn’t finished raiding the Pac-12 SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM 'If anyone thinks the Big Ten isn't coming back for more, they're not following along,' a source told our Matt Hayes. Bottom line: The Pac-12 is in trouble as a Power 5 league.

Bronny James and Oregon commit Kwame Evans projected lottery picks in 2024 NBA mock draft. Bronny James isn’t the only name that Oregon Duck fans should be focused on, though. While James is yet to make his commitment and is still said to be heavily considering the Ducks, there is an Oregon commit who is in the mix for a top pick in 2024. 5-star PF Kwame Evans is even higher on the board than James is. According to ESPN’s latest 2024 mock, Evans is projected to go to the New Orleans Pelicans with the No. 9 overall pick, with James is projected to go to the Orlando Magic with the No. 10 overall pick.

Vancouver (Wash.) Evergreen offensive lineman Fox Crader hasn't backed away from his commitment to Oregon. Not in the least. But, he did acknowledge he was surprised at the departure of offensive line coach Adrian Klemm to the NFL. "I'm not going to lie, that one hurt," said Crader. "He had told me he was going to let me know, he made 3-5 visits to my school to keep me in the loop and I actually thought he wasn’t going. He never said he wasn't and in my head it kind of sounded like he was really serious about it but but obviously I was hoping he was going to stay. So that one hurt a little bit."

Canzano: While we wait for white smoke to rise from the chimney at Pac-12 Conference headquarters signaling the approval of a new media-rights deal, it’s worth a discussion about the campus leaders who will light the match. The Pac-12 presidents and chancellors got some key things wrong in the last decade plus. That required a unique blend of ignorance, apathy and arrogance. But as Henry David Thoreau once wrote: “The best way to correct a mistake is to make it right.” Canzano: Time for big bosses in Pac-12 to lead WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM Presidents and chancellors must get it right.

Pac-12 Football: Where each team could land if conference breaks up DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Pac-12 may sign a new media rights deal and start to thrive. If not, though, these teams could be on the move.

If you get past all that is being said, even Dennis Dodd is saying most likely ESPN/Amazon will be who the Pac'12 will sign a media deal with. This is also what Canzano is saying. CBS/Turner were never ever serious contenders. Sad to understand though why the Pac12's ineptness to make crucial decisions at the most opportunistic time is beyond reasoning. But it is what it is at this point. Hopefully soon will know what that media deal will wind up being. No matter what happens with the Pac-12, I am trusting Oregon along with Phil Knight will make the best decision for Oregon moving forward. Will the Pac-12 break up?

The Pac-12 Conference has gone stealth in the last few days. My spider senses are tingling. There’s a lot of outside noise, but the conference has tightened the inner circle. • It could be that the conference wants Monday’s joint statement of unity to do the talking. The Pac-12 was annoyed at some erroneous reports and misinformation that was clouding the space. • A consultant who works closely behind the scenes with schools and conferences all over the country told me this week that “only about 50 percent” of what we see reported is accurate. Regardless of whether it’s the SEC, Big Ten, Pac-12, ACC or Big 12… “that 50 percent figure holds up across the board,” per the source. It’s why you have to be careful with what you read and why I’m committed to giving you sourced, in-depth reporting and commentary that you can’t get anywhere else here. Canzano stated that neither CBS or Turner networks were ever seriously involved. He expect's ESPN/Amazon to end up with Pac-12's media rights.
