Oregon has moved from one elite recruiting staff to another in the eyes of 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong. When Dan Lanning was hired to replace Mario Cristobal in December, he went hunting for recruiting heavy hitters. Per Wiltfong, he's achieved just that.

I think ND can be OK in the 10-20 year range, but their fan base seems to be in their 60's plus. Once, those people are no longer around, I think ND is going to be hard pressed to pull in the TV numbers.

B1G TEN and SEC will be making 30-50 mil more than p12, b12 and ACC. Travel expenses are NOT a factor for Olympic sports.

What isn't mentioned, the Pac 12 owns the Rose Bowl rights. I'm not sure if those end in 2024 or move with UCLA?

Everybody is giving lip service and saying the right things. If we don't think every Pac 12 AD/President aren't talking to SEC, B1G TEN or B12, we have our had in the sand. Everybody is looking for their own life raft.

Nobody knew OKlahoma and Texas were moving until it was a done deal. People can be secretive, when they really want to be.

It is odd that they want to hear from ND, but ND is forced to join the ACC if they want their football team to join a conference or they have to pay the 50 mil exit fee. I can't believe the ACC has a TV contract until 2036. That was absurd.

USC and UCLA are in for 2 more years. If Oregon goes undefeated the next 2 years, they will be in the playoffs. It is 2024, where it gets dicey. However, Cincy did it, Pac 10 is better than AAC.

Notre Dame TV deal is through 2025.

A video surfaced on social media this week that appeared to show a Texas A&M staffer trying to sell — literally — recruits on playing for the Aggies. While showing the prospective players around Kyle Field, the staffer pointed to the luxury suites and said “Y’all getting a lot of money from the people behind these suites if you decide to come play here.” Texas A&M staffer caught on video talking about boosters paying recruits LARRYBROWNSPORTS.COM A video surfaced that showed a Texas A&M staffer telling prospective recruits that they would be paid by boosters sitting in luxury suites

3 out of 5 make sense to me. Big Ten Expansion Top 5 Candidates: Possible Schools To Join USC, UCLA COLLEGEFOOTBALLNEWS.COM Top 5 schools the Big Ten might go after now that it grabbed USC and UCLA?

When the Trojans and Bruins join the Big Ten, the Power Five will become a Power Two. The Pac-12 is on life support, and Larry Scott put it there SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM With USC and UCLA planning to leave the Pac-12 in 2024, the tenure of Larry Scott is creating one last headache.

“First off, Thank you to the entire staff at Oregon for allowing me to perform under a winning culture,” Britton wrote. “I’d like to give a huge thanks to my family, friends, and fellow teammates for being alongside and supporting me through this journey. I am beyond excited to be joining the pack!” https://www.dailyemerald.com/sports/oregon-left-handed-pitcher-rio-britton-transfers-to-nc-state/article_734d34a2-f8a9-11ec-a86d-672f84a7c7d0.html

Class of 2023 long snapper Nick Duzansky has verbally committed to the University of Oregon, he announced on Twitter Thursday. The highly ranked, 6-foot-4 and 190-pound recruit is “100% committed.” https://www.dailyemerald.com/sports/ducks-snag-class-of-2023-long-snapper-nick-duzansky/article_600a993c-f8ab-11ec-a659-e7e37a7f51f3.html

The travel time is going to be bad for the students, but we are talking peanuts when you talk about travel costs. B1G TEN schools were going to start receiving 30+ mil more than the pac 12. Traveling costs will be a few hundred thousand more a year? Let's even go traveling costs will be 2 million more a year, the schools will still be profiting an addtional 28 mil a year. Actual travel costs is a non factor. Travel for students should be a factor, but the schools don't care.

Ugh, no idea who's idea it was, but the Pac 12 has no exit fee. They only hold media rights through 2024. So, USC and UCLA didn't have to give any notice, they could have just walked. Although, I'm not sure when they are going to be in discussions with their new TV, so USC/UCLA just couldn't be like I'm not signing it without some awkwardness. Only ACC and Big 12 have exit fees at the moment.

Were is Bill? He needs to shame UCLA about sticking with the conference of Champions.

Yeah, when you don't have revenue sharing, everybody goes their own way. USC/UCLA leaving would absolutely cripple the Pac 12, but wouldn't kill it. However, UO and UW leaving would kill it. I'd like to pick and choose schools for merging, but I feel like OSU/UO and WSU/UW are joined at the hip.

Oregon has the Portland TV market, so to say we don't have a TV market is a little premature. Seattle is 12 and Portland is 21. San Fran is #6 TV market. The funny thing about USC/UCLA is how marginal their TV numbers are, even though they are in LA. Nearly 6 million people is a lot, but just about every major league sport and college sport has always mentioned just how band wagon those schools/LA is.

I can't find anything about the Pac 12 exit fee. I don't believe even if given a long enough warning a team can just exit the Pac 12. If I remember correctly, it is something like 18 months and 25 mil exit fee at the cheapest.

5-star QB Dante Moore — a top Oregon Ducks prospect — is turning some heads.

Check out these highlights.

I guess OSU will always have the excuse of they are in Corvallis, but this is year 5 for Jonathan Smith. No excuses. Year / record / conf record / Total offense in P12 / Total defense in P12 / defense scoring average Year 1: 2-10 (1-8) #6 / #12 / #12 Year 2: 5-7 (4-5) #6 / #9 / #10 Year 3: 2-5 (2-5) #8 / #10 / #10 Year 4: 7-6 (5-4) #4 / #9 / #7 Way too much talk of what Jonathan is building at OSU, when looking at the stats and records, it is below average. I'm not scared of that. He has slightly improved OSU, but not enough to impress me. Who knows, maybe he will impress me this year.

All these schools/boosters paying millions to get kids to go to their school will start getting very angry that their team is still going 9-3 or 10-2 and playing in a bad bowl game. Teams have to be willing to spend some money, but going all New York Yankees and not winning anything isn't going to sit well with boosters paying the big bucks. Mario and Jimbo are very good recruiters/coaches, but I'm not sure money will buy them championships. I think Jimbo got lightning in a bottle in 2013 and 2014 and has been very good, but not great before and after. It is really hard to win a championship.

Ducks have 3 of the top 15 in these rankings. A couple of other schools have 2 to make the list. Ranking the Pac-12 Offensive Linemen for 2022 WWW.WESTCOASTCFB.COM Jaxson Kirkland returns to Washington hoping to pave the way back to a Bowl Game.

Riley brought DC Grinch with him from Oklahoma, where he’d been the coordinator for the last three seasons. Grinch provokes quite a bit of controversy in the advanced stats community. I count myself a skeptic, since he only has two spikes into the top 25 in F+ rankings – in 2017 when, as I wrote about last week, he enjoyed extraordinary turnover luck, and in 2020 which is a season that will always have an asterisk in the record books.
