Big 10 is Close To a New TV Deal - Why It Could Be Good News for the Pac-12 and Big 12
Not sure why B1G TEN went with NBC at all, if they want ND. ND in early afternoon with big ten game afterwards makes ND that more valuable.

Saturday Out West Preseason Top 25
Interesting fact about USC QB Williams. Yes, Caleb Williams is an upgrade at quarterback and I love all the new weapons, especially Biletnikoff Award winner Jordan Addison and Oregon leading rusher Travis Dye. But Williams struggled against top-70 defenses, beginning with when he took over against Texas. He finished with 21 TD passes — but 17 came against weaker defense. He had a 4-3 TD/INT ratio and absorbed 4+ sacks per game against top-70 defenses.

How did Oregon Alumni Stack up in the 2022 Summer League
The 2022 NBA Summer League season ended with the Portland Trail Blazers bringing the inaugural championship rings home to Oregon. The Blazers roster saw no former Ducks, yet a handful of familiar faces competed during the 11-day campaign, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Seven former Ducks are on NBA rosters while others remain hopeful, competing in pre-season competition. Only two of those seven played in any summer league games, joined by four other Oregon alums still on the brink of an NBA roster spot. https://www.dailyemerald.com/sports/how-did-oregon-alumni-stack-up-in-the-2022-summer-league/article_3f1c8c56-159f-11ed-95c6-efc07966b42f.html

In 2022...Do Cheerleader Photos Inspire or Offend?
The famous line, you know it when you see it.

At my office, we have the 80/20 rule for work flow. We know we aren't going to make everybody happy, so if we get 80% we move forward. Not offended with appropriate cheerleader photos.

Regarding Bo Nix: Beware ‘Bandwagon Buy-In’
I don't think Nix is a great QB or will be a great QB, however there is a lot of cherry picking stats. His completion percentage increased every year. His average pass increased every year. He had 3 interceptions last year. He was sacked the fewest times in his career at 12 last season. Granted, last season he did only play 10 games. Comparing Brown and Nix last season. Brown ORE CMP ATT CMP% YDS AVG TD INT LNG SACK RTG 250 390 64.1 2,989 7.7 18 7 66 23 140.1 Nix AUB CMP ATT CMP% YDS AVG TD INT LNG SACK RTG 197 323 61 2,294 7.1 11 3 71 12 130 It is hard comparing players/coaches to each other. Trying to compare Bo Nix/Chad Morris with Tajh Boyd/Chad Morris is silly. Auburn went 21-16 while Bo Nix is QB. Clemson went 38-15 while Boyd was QB. There are 100+ guys playing for a football team. By that logic, Kobe Bryant sucked 2005-06 and he had Phil Jackson for those seasons, the same as when he won titles. I have no doubt I am going to be screaming at Bo for making mistakes and shaking my head at to figuring out what he was thinking. I am definitely not thinking Bo will be our savior. My preference would be to let Ty or Jay play after the UGA game.

Should the PAC-12, Big 12, and ACC Combine into One Super-Duper Conference?
I separated each conference into a top tier and 2nd tier football school. If you take the top tier of the Pac 12, Big 12 and ACC, it is on par with the B1G TEN and SEC. If you were able to pick and choose which schools for a merge between Pac 12, Big 12 and ACC, it would be deeper than both the SEC and B1G TEN. A 3rd conference could happen and it would be on par with both the SEC and B1G TEN, but it would be a nightmare for olympic sports. This is from what have you done for me lately.
