I'm not sure getting more money from March Madness or CFP will be anywhere near as much as Oregon needs to keep up with the B1G and SEC. The pac 12 got 18 mil from March Madness in 2022, so 1.5 mil per school. I doubt the Pac 12 will give 50% to any team. Let's say the Ducks get 4 mil. Pac 12 will bring in around 260 mil when it moves to 12 teams. That means 26 mil per team, but the SEC will bringing in 28 mil per team when they go to 12 teams. Maybe, the Ducks get an extra 20%, so their cut would be around 31 mil. So, if they do performance based payments, Ducks get an extra 9 or 10 mil a year. That is still 30 mil less a year than every B1G and SEC school. Performance based payments isn't going to be nearly enough, unless it is so ruthless they don't give any money to the crappy teams.

Oregon Football Spring Preview: Quarterback Bo Nix Returns With Heisman Hype - Sports Illustrated Oregon Ducks News, Analysis and More

Very useful, thank you 2002Duck.

That is a pay site.

I understand the 1st year rule, but why do the students have to have the short stick after year 1? When schools sign players to a scholarship, that is a contract for 4 or 5 years. Schools/Head coaches get a do over without consequences, but students don't? It would be nice if everyone got what they wanted without consequences, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. I'm not sure what the correct thing to do is, but giving a school an out when they make the wrong decision doesn't feel like the right thing.

I think it only makes sense if there is a group of 6 teams in the Pacific time zone. 4 is not enough, IMO. The Olympic sports need at least 1/3 of their conference away games to be close to them.

It will be interesting to see if Fox forces UCLA and USC into repeatedly playing games at 7 PM PST. That would essentially force them to play all their home games at 7 PM and they would have make sure they alternate home games even for OOC.

West Linn for the most part has been taking care of business during the regular season. 6A -Three Rivers League OSAA - Teams WWW.OSAA.ORG Oregon School Activities Association 6A Boys Basketball Bracket WWW.OSAA.ORG 2023 OSAA / OnPoint Community Credit Union 6A Boys Basketball State Championship | March 9-11, University of Portland, Chiles Center West Linn High School (OR) Varsity Basketball WWW.MAXPREPS.COM See the West Linn Lions's basketball schedule, roster, rankings, standings and more on MaxPreps.com

It took 3-5 years for Utah to get equal share. It wasn't immediate.

Interesting. While the business terms of the concept could still change, ESPN has considered a model in which it would take a cut of subscription revenue from a user who signed up for a streaming service through the ESPN app or website, two of the people said. If a customer already subscribes to a given service, ESPN would collect no money and just provide the link as a courtesy, people familiar with the matter said.

Offer is 100% different than signing. No player can sign anything until their senior year. No school is ever obligated to actually give a player offered a scholarship. Obviously, if any school did that often enough, no high school players would sign.

It looks like Oregon wins the 3 way tie break because they played Utah and ASU twice each. Where ASU and Utah only played once. For two-team tie 1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season. 2. Each team's record (won-lost percentage) vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record (won-lost percentage) against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group's own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams. For multiple-team tie 1. Results (won-lost percentage) of collective head-to-head competition during the regular season among the tied teams. Oregon: vs ASU 1-1 vs Utah 2-0 vs UCLA 0-2 vs UA 1-1 vs USC 1-0 ASU: vs Oregon 1-1 vs Utah 1-0 vs UCLA 0-1 with 1 to play vs UA 1-1 vs USC 0-1 with 1 to play Utah vs Oregon 0-2 vs ASU 0-1 vs UCLA 0-2 vs UA 1-1 vs USC 0-2

A 6 team west coast pod, is much more feasible for Olympic sport student athletes.

Hopefully the talent on paper shows up on the field. I don't want to be Notre Dame or Texas A&M and only look good on paper.

The four B12 teams are bigger and better than teams P12 is looking at, for football. I think SDST is the only school the P12 should bring in. They are the only school that are a net positive or at least not a negative day 1. TV Numbers (2022) for B12 expansion teams: UCF 510K Cincy 653K Houston 242K BYU 997K Undergraduate: UCF 58,749 Cincy 28,910 Houston 37,689 BYU 31,633 Stadium Capacity UCF 45,323 Cincy 40,000 Houston 40,000 BYU 63,725 Pac 12 expansion teams SDST 198K - 33,778 - 35,000 SMU 164K - 6908 - 32,000 Tulane 354K - 14,669 - 30,000 UTSA N/A - 7,320 - 72,000

I'm not sure what would be considered reasonable, but if the game stops because you are "injured", sit out for a set number of plays or even the rest of the series. It would also help with player safety.

Source - College coach Willie Taggart expected to join Ravens WWW.ESPN.COM Longtime college coach Willie Taggart is expected to join the Ravens to oversee their running backs, a source told ESPN.

I don't think the issue is with football. It is with every other sport. Every other sport will be traveling 10-15 times a season. Even when I'm traveling for vacation, I don't like it and I'm not expected to perform athletically.

Any TV media company should assume Oregon gets the Portland market, which is 21. TV viewership backs up PDX watches Oregon football. Seattle is number 12. Seattle would be the 5th biggest market by school in the B1G TEN after LA joins the group. Portland would be the 7th biggest TV market. B1G TEN TV markets #1 NY - Rutgers #2 LA #3 Chicago - Illinois, Northwestern #4 Philly - Penn St. #14 Minneapolis - Minnesota #15 Detroit - Michigan #25 Indianapolis - Indiana/Purdue #28 Baltimore - Maryland #33 Columbus - tOSU #68 Iowa City/Des Moines - Iowa #72 Lincoln/Omaha - Nebraska #81 Madison - Wisconsin #115 East Lansing - MSU TV Media companies have a weird formula.

The company/entity that is paying the money decides if the morality clause is violated. I'm guessing with young men/women, they are designed to be easily violated. Why pay when you can save money if things don't turn out?

Ohio State cancels their 2024/2025 games with Washington because it sounds like they will play either at USC or UCLA in 2024. They don't want two west coast trips in the same season. Are you kidding me? USC and UCLA will have to make the Midwest trip at least 4 times a year. USC and UCLA, I hope you like your money because you aren't going to get an equal schedule.

Pac 12 schools hopping to B12 isn't as simple as people may think. The new B12 deal brings each school 31.7 million. I'm not going to assume every Pac 12 school will bring that to the table solo or in combination with a partner school. There is diminishing returns when adding more schools. Essentially, each TV station can have up to 4 football games on any given Saturday. More schools does equal more inventory and more possible combinations of good games, but there does become a time there is too much and they can't do anything with the inventory. Texas, Oklahoma, USC and UCLA are considered "blue blood" schools in football or basketball. It helps USC and UCLA also have the LA TV market. Those 4 schools made sense to add to a conference. I don't feel like any of the remaining Pac 12 or Big 12 schools can be considered in that category.

Menacing, unlawful use of a weapon and coercion are the charges. I'm not sure somebody can explain away all those charges.

7. USC Trojans Ceiling: 11-1 | Floor: 8-4 Initial SP+ rank: 10 | Odds of finishing 11-1 or better: 19% Biggest variable: Duh -- defense. In six seasons as a head coach, Lincoln Riley has never produced an offensive SP+ ranking worse than fifth. He also has produced only one defensive SP+ ranking better than 63rd. (In 2022, the Trojans were first and 87th, respectively.) With Heisman-winning quarterback Caleb Williams and what appears to be another good skill corps returning, it's safe to say USC will again be elite offensively. But Riley and defensive coordinator Alex Grinch bear a significant burden of proof when it comes to stopping opponents. Can experience and a truckload of transfers reverse a dreadful defensive reputation? 9. Oregon Ducks Ceiling: 11-1 | Floor: 8-4 Initial SP+ rank: 8 | Odds of finishing 11-1 or better: 23% Biggest variable: Offensive line. Bo Nix was one of the stories of 2022, throwing for nearly 3,600 yards and 30 touchdowns after his transfer from Auburn. With most of his skill corps returning, and with an iffy defense returning enough experience to project improvement, there's a lot to like about the Ducks as a contender in a suddenly loaded Pac-12. But Nix will be working with a new offensive coordinator (Will Stein, formerly of UTSA), and he'll be protected by an offensive line replacing four starters. If it holds up, Oregon is a top-10 team. But what if it doesn't? 11. Washington Huskies Ceiling: 11-1 | Floor: 7-5 Initial SP+ rank: 16 | Odds of finishing 11-1 or better: 13% Biggest variable: Defensive efficiency. The third of six potential Pac-12 contenders on the list, the Huskies surged from 4-8 to 11-2 in Kalen DeBoer's first season as head coach. Michael Penix Jr. threw for 4,641 yards and 31 touchdowns and elected to return to Seattle to once again pair up with the dynamite receiver duo of Jalen McMillan and Rome Odunze. The defense was merely solid, however, attempting a bend-don't-break approach but bending way too much. Playmakers like Bralen Trice and Tuli Letuligasenoa do return, but the Huskies need to do much better at knocking opponents off schedule. 13. Utah Utes Ceiling: 10-2 | Floor: 7-5 Initial SP+ rank: 13 | Odds of finishing 11-1 or better: 7% Biggest variable: Big plays (same as always). The announced return of quarterback Cam Rising and tight end Brant Kuithe, among others, gave Kyle Whittingham's Utes a shot in the arm in their pursuit for a third straight conference title. But your margin for error is always iffy when you lose the big-play battle, and that has long been an issue for Utah. They ranked 104th in marginal explosiveness on offense and 131st on defense. They're as physical and efficient as ever, but in a loaded conference race, now would be a great time to gain control over the gashes. 17. Oregon State Beavers Ceiling: 10-2 | Floor: 6-6 Initial SP+ rank: 31 | Odds of finishing 11-1 or better: 4% Biggest variable: DJ U. Jonathan Smith's Beavers leaped from 89th to 16th in defensive SP+ (and, consequently, from 7-6 to 10-3) last year and should have the pieces to at least threaten another top-30 performance on that side of the ball. But injuries and iffy play at quarterback held them back -- they averaged just 17 points per game with eight interceptions and no TD passes in three losses. Will Clemson quarterback transfer DJ Uiagalelei turn around both his career and OSU's offensive trajectory with a move out west? If so, this might be a five-team Pac-12 title race. 23. Texas Tech Red Raiders Ceiling: 9-3 | Floor: 5-7 Initial SP+ rank: 35 | Odds of finishing 11-1 or better: 1% Biggest variable: Defense, as always. In the past 13 years, Texas Tech has never finished in the defensive SP+ top 60 and has only once topped 78th. Last year: 82nd. Joey McGuire's first season in charge was exciting -- Tech beat both Texas and Oklahoma on the way to its first eight-win season in nine years -- and we're seeing some "sleeper Big 12 contender?" buzz after a solid batch of super seniors (including quarterback Tyler Shough) announced their returns. The defense is experienced, but unless experience translates into a top-50ish performance, the buzz will likely be for naught. UCLA Bruins Ceiling: 11-1 | Floor: 7-5 Initial SP+ rank: 21 | Odds of finishing 11-1 or better: 12% Biggest variable: Newbies. The Bruins won 17 games in 2021-22, but we seem to be writing them off a bit in 2023 after the departures of seven offensive starters, including QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and RB Zach Charbonnet. But Chip Kelly has worked the transfer portal aggressively in 2023, bringing in seven potential starters on offense, plus a few on defense as well. This will be a new but experienced team this fall, and if the chemistry experiment succeeds, they have more than enough talent to make this a ... five-way Pac-12 race? Six-way? Eight-way? What number are we up to now?

The era of QBs sitting in the pocket and not rushing is pretty much over. However, QBs have to be smart when they do run. I didn't bother trying to see if these were scrambles or designed runs, but as you can see the quarterbacks below were running no less than 3 times per game and up to 9 times per game. With Oregon's offense, Nix has to run a few times a game, so it has the appearance he will run, and the defense has to account for it. Remember when Herbert was playing and he never ran the ball, but Oregon was still running the zone read? The defense keyed on the RB every time. Justin Fields Lamar Jackson Josh Allen Jalen Hurts Daniel Jones Marcus Mariota Kyler Murray Geno Smith Patrick Mahomes Justin Herbert Rushes 160 112 124 165 120 85 67 68 61 57 Yards 1143 764 762 760 708 438 418 366 358 147 YPC 7.1 6.8 6.1 4.6 5.9 5.2 6.2 5.4 5.9 2.7
