Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren to be Named Chicago Bears President, CEO
"Warren, who succeeded Jim Delany, made two massive moves in 2022 for the future of the conference. The first is the league's addition of USC and UCLA as the next wave of conference realignment. The second came Aug. 18 with a new media rights deal." Going for greener pastures, really, at the expense of the Pac 12. His acquisition of the Southern California schools was able to help get the big media rights deal. In turn helped him to move up into the Pros becoming the president and CEO of the Chicago Bears.

Ducks Well Represented Among 2023 Gatorade Players of the Year
"There are many ways to determine who the best recruits in high school sports are each year, but one of the best ways that have come about over the past few decades is to look at who was named the Gatorade Player of the Year. Gatorade highlights dozens of spectacular athletes across all sports, and they award the top player from each state year after year. While this isn’t a perfect way to determine who the top 50 players in the nation are, since there are often multiple deserving players in each state, it goes to show who the most talented player in all 50 states is. In the world of football, the 50 winners were announced on Friday, January 6, and it turns out that the Oregon Ducks are well represented. We wanted to celebrate those players for their achievements and look at a couple of other players — one potential future Duck, and another former Duck — that made the cut as well." Oregon Football: Multiple Ducks named Gatorade Player of the Year DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Gatorade Players of the Year were announced for all 50 states on Friday, and the Ducks were well represented.

Among First-Year Coaches, Dan Lanning Scores High Grade While Mario Cristobal Flops
Dan Lanning was one of the best first-year head coaches to come out of the 2022 class, while Mario Cristobal’s Year 1 at Miami can best be described as a flop.

Lanning earned a B+ grade from Rittenberg after leading Oregon to a 10-3 record.

End of Season Stats/Rankings/Accomplishments/Etc.
Dan Lanning is no fan of stats. He said as much this season when discussing their value. However, for those of us covering the team, end-of-season stats can provide greater understanding of the strengths and weaknesses a team possessed. With that in mind, the Duck Territory staff has pieced together nine stats that we think told the story of the 2022 season and could do the same next fall in 2023. For this DT Roundtable, myself, Matt Prehm and Jared Mack have each selected a good stat, a bad stat and a stat we think will be key for the team's success next fall. To avoid possible overlap, we have conferred with each other, so unlike past versions of this article, don't expect to see any repeat answers. With that, here are nine stats from the 2022 Oregon football season we believe are worth knowing.
