World Championship Defined by Devon Allen's DQ
Maybe someday track and field will get out of its own way. Bill Oram: Devon Allen debacle destined to define these World Athletics Championships WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM If there is one thing international track and field can be trusted to get right, and there might only be one, it is to rigidly enforce its most archaic and arbitrary rules.

Could Teams Outside of SEC/B1G Be Left Out in the Cold
I don't know the "rules" that make up the CFP, but B1G and SEC only have 2 of 11 votes if every conference gets a vote. I have a feeling if the B1G and SEC try and say we will do our own thing the federal government may get involved.

Big 12, Pac-12 May be Realizing They're Worth More Together Than Apart
I have said it before and I know it wouldn't be easy, but football and maybe basketball have their own conferences and the rest of sports keep it regional. TV contracts would be a mess, but it could keep more schools afloat.

Canzano: 'UCLA's Leadership Will be Cowering for Forgiveness'
Unless state/federal money is being pulled, I don't see why UCLA would not go to the B1G TEN. We are talking 40-60 million more per year. That is a lot of money, even if half of it is eaten up by travel costs.

Ducks SS Josh Kasevich Drafted No. 60 by Blue Jays
It’s easy to see why Kasevich was picked so high in the draft with his breakout 2022 season for the Ducks. He hit .324 with four home runs and 44 runs batted in. Kasevich also played an elite shortstop with a fielding percentage of .980 that included just five errors on the season.

Backlash as Devon Allen DQ'd by 'BS Rule'
It makes no sense when they move AFTER the gun shot.

'Help Wanted'
Well, I know when I'm hitting my head on the wall it hurts and I stop. I can't say the same thing about some coaching decisions. I may not know the correct thing to call, but I can certainly see something that isn't working and i would stop.

Backlash as Devon Allen DQ'd by 'BS Rule'
I watched most of all the events on NBC/USA/CNBC (I don't have Peacock) over the weekend. Read this sentence: According to the timing technology, Allen had started 0.099 seconds after the gun. How is it a false start, if you go after the gun is fired? Totally crazy. FYI, electronic is not 100%. Wimbledon had a guy not play for around 15 minutes arguing about a ball being in/out. He said it was out, but the electronic system said in. In the article, they had live camera angles and showed the ball was out.

Conference Realignment: 'This Sucks'
Exact reason why I never watch ND on NBC. It is a done deal, but I'll make a concerted effort not to watch any USC/UCLA sports, unless they are playing the Ducks.

Terrible News...Spencer Webb Dies in Accident 🙁
So, FoxSports, CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports all have stories about Spencer Webb, but ESPN doesn't. They reported about Utah's players death the same day he was shot in September.

Projected Conference Payouts Per Team--Yikes!

On July 21 UC Board of Regents to Discuss UCLA's Move to Big Ten
It doesn't matter that UCLA got their 102.8 million dollar debt because of lack of thought, but that with the move to B1G TEN they will be able to keep all their sports. That is their play. If you force us to stay in the Pac 12, we will have to cut a ton of sports.

Arch Manning, a 3-Star Recruit?
Unless football recruiters are vastly different than basketball recruiters, then Farrell is a lot of hot air. Look at the recent rankings of former NBA player kids. I don't think a single one is 5 stars. Wade, Pippen, James, O'neal, etc none of them were given 5 stars. Half of them weren't even 4 stars. The last name Manning certainly brought eyes to the kid, but any recruiter that wants to remain legit gives real rankings to talent level. Don't forget the stars do get skewed according to which teams offer scholarships. You get scholarship offer from Alabama and ND you essentially get a 1/2 star boost.

Canzano: ESPN Plays Kingmaker as Pac-12 Waits...Plus, a Dutch Bros Laugh...and a Lawsuit Looms
Does Fox/B1G expect USC and UCLA to always play the late games to get in the PST window? 2 teams isn't enough to fill the PST sports window. I think everybody was talking about how much money USC and UCLA are going to get, but not much about scheduling. I'm not sure how interested kids are going to be travelling 2K+ miles up to 15 times a year for some sports. I'm sure there are Olympic programs at USC/UCLA that won't be affected, but I have a feeling some will take a recruiting hit because of all the traveling. It has been mentioned before, College Football is the 2nd most popular sport in the US. I can tell you, if Oregon is left out of whatever the world looks like, I won't be interested. If they go to a big 2, I won't hardly watch. it will be like the MLB for me. I'll maybe watch the finals. College fan bases are way more localized and if you reduce the "it" teams to 32-36 teams, I have a feeling TV ratings will crash. College isn't the NFL.

Weekend Rewind: USC/UCLA Travel, Oregon Recruiting, WSU Football Stock
Three Oregon recruits in the 2022 class came from the state of California. Six came from the state in the 2021 class. Eight came from the state in the 2020 class.

Oregon Duck Paopao Time to Shine
At this point it has become fairly clear that if there is one member of that unprecedented recruiting class that can step into that role, it is junior guard Te-Hina Paopao. WBB: it’s Paopao’s time to shine WWW.ADDICTEDTOQUACK.COM Women’s basketball underperformed in 2022, and it needs a floor general.

I DON'T WANT to Play Purdue, Indiana and Northwestern....Do YOU?
Unfortunately, that world no longer exists. NCAA/University Presidents better figure something out. You take away the money maker for most college sport programs and then you no longer have college sports. My 2 cents. Everybody should go back to their conferences for all sports, except football. Some how make 4 FBS conferences for football, 12-16 teams each. Total restructure to put teams regionally together again. You would still need to cut some teams and move them to group of 5 status. All 4 conferences have the same TV deal. The Kansas' of the world wouldn't like it. However, I'm guessing if Kansas was in the next tier down, their fan base would enough winning seasons again. I know it is not going to happen, but the federal government may need to get involved to keep Title 9 compliant.

The SEC is Done With Expansion...For Now
The SEC is only done because the schools they want are in the ACC and don't want to pay 50 mil per to get them out of the TV contract. I'm guessing the ACC members are going to as a whole want out of that terrible TV contract. I can't believe they signed for so long. When Clemson, UNC, Miami and whomever else in the ACC are on the market, SEC will take them.
