I get why they might not like competing against UO in football and football recruiting, but for the rest of the sports, having more teams on the west coast makes financial sense. I have said it before, having 6 teams on the west coast makes the money work way better for the B1G TEN.

Clemson and South Carolina play every year. Georgia vs Georgia Tech. Florida vs FSU. Oregon and Oregon State can keep their rivalry even if they aren't in the same conference.

Anybody else find it odd that ESPN/FOX have money to give full payouts to all these PAC teams to join the Big 12, but don't have money to keep the PAC together?

Not likely Annie. NFL Prime video games aren't any shorter than network TV games for the NFL.

If Apple, 200 mil annually, is the only contract for the PAC, it would be decimating. Here is what the Big 12 was in 2012. 13 years, 2.6 billion, 200 mil annually. Here is what the Big 12 is in 2025. 6 years, 2.28 billion, 380 mil annually. Here is what the PAC deal looked like in 2012. 12 years 3 billion, 250 mil annually. It would be the first time in history a P5 conference's TV deal went down annually from the previous contract. Here are how the TV games were split between ESPN and FOX for the 2012-2024 deal. The deal is with ESPN and Fox with enough of the conference's own events maintained to allow for the creation of a Pac-12 Network. Fox has the rights to 22 Pac-12 football games annually. Eight of those will be on the over-the-air Fox network (four in prime time) and the remaining 14 will be on FX, which is available in 99 million homes. Fox also has the rights to the Pac-12 Championship Game in even years, which will be broadcast in prime time on a Friday night on Fox. ESPN gets the rights to 22 football games of their own, including eight on Thursday or Friday nights, a weekly 7:30 pm PT game and two ABC prime time games per year. ESPN also gets the rights to the Pac-12 Championship Game in odd years, which will be broadcast on a Friday night. Fox will have the rights to 22 men's basketball games per year as well as three Pac-12 Tournaments beginning in 2014. ESPN will broadcast a total on 46 men's basketball games on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays as the Pac-12 ditches their Thursday/Saturday scheduling for a more flexible schedule. The Pac-12 Tournament will see Fox/FX or ESPN/ESPN2 as well as the Pac-12 Network. Fox/FX and ESPN/ESPN2 will alternate years televising a quarterfinal game, a semifinal game and the championship game with the balance of games televised on the Pac-12 Network. ESPN has the rights to up to 80 live events per year, which includes the 22 football games, the men's basketball games, women's basketball games and Olympic sports as well for the first time. ESPN also has the rights to the women's basketball tournament. A Pac-12 Network will be created and will show 350 live events each year. All football and men's basketball games not covered by the deals with Fox or ESPN will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network, as well as an array of non-revenue/Olympic sports. Pac-12 Digital Networks is being created and will be an online channel similar to ESPN3 that will show all games on Pac-12, as well as additional events live online. With Pac-12 Digital Networks comes additional mobile and social media technology for the conference's events as well. I can't imagine why USC/UCLA would be that much more valuable than OU/Texas. It can't be all market size, because if it was SMU, Rice, etc any other university in a huge TV market would be getting bigger TV deals.

I believe home and home there are no payouts.

I'm probably the last person not to think the sky is falling, but I'm going to wait and see what the TV deal is. From a perspective standpoint Big 12 is doing better than the PAC at the moment, but I'm not really all that hyped about Cincinnati, BYU, Houston, UCF and Colorado. Once they are P5 schools do they increase their value and the Big 12 value? They definitely could. Today, they don't move the needle. It looks like the Big 12 is doing something, which is way more than what it looks like the PAC is doing, but we won't really know until 5-10 years down the line.

I stand corrected, leaks about leaving a conference can come true.

I haven't boarded the train on firing George yet, but if he doesn't get at least 31.7 per school. He has to go. Big 12 got a deal early, but they also left money on the table. If the PAC doesn't get at least equal to the Big 12, that 100% looks like the right call. If the PAC exceeds the Big 12, then it looks like the Big 12 made the wrong move.

Yeah, if Deion had any say in moving to the Big 12, that is silly. He is there what maybe 5 years? However, I do think it is funny that he pretty much said it is going to be easier to win in the Big 12 than the PAC.

I am definitely concerned, but I will wait until I see the media deal. Colorado leaving certainly is a huge perception issue, but they have been meh for football and in Men's and Women's basketball they won exactly 2 NCAA tournament games each since joining the PAC. Quality wise Colorado has done next to nothing for the PAC.

I can't remember the last time a school changed conferences after a leak to the media. I don't expect anything different now. It is silly for any school to leave before they know what they are losing. Big 12 is getting 31.7 million with 12 teams in 2024. Do we expect their TV deals to increase 63.4 million by adding Colorado and other unnamed school? How hilarious would it be if the schools left and the PAC had a bigger payout.

I'd like to know what the formula was in deciding. Is Miami really the best in the ACC? Wisconsin the best in the B1G? Appalachian St. for the Sun Belt? They have only been in the Sun Belt since 2016. I'd say the person literally threw darts to pick schools.

Buyouts are a two way street. If the school has a high buyout for him leaving with him making the decision, he expects the same in return from the school. I wouldn't have given him a 1-year extension this year, but I also don't mind it either.

Don't forget Mahomes signed a 10 year 450 mil deal. Herbert has the highest average, but Mahomes has the highest total contract. I sort of wish Herbert did something like Mahomes. I want the Charges to do well and that requires paying other players. I hope the Chargers GM works his magic, so they can stay competitive.

NCAA has never done it, but they should start suspending coaches the last games of the regular season, if they are going to suspend coaches. Suspending for OOC games for any sport really isn't much of a punishment.

Saturday Night Live: Star-studded guest list expected this weekend in Eugene Things are about to get busy for Dan Lanning in Eugene. The unofficial start to the fall season begins next Monday with the Oregon Ducks media day, followed by the beginning of fall practices on Wednesday, August 2. Before that, the Ducks will be hosting a long list of top-rated players in the recruiting world, with players from the 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 classes. The purpose is to evaluate the player skills and start to build relationships going forward. While the list will continue to evolve over the next several days, here are the players who we have confirmed will be in Eugene for Saturday Night Live this weekend. Oregon Recruiting: Star-studded guest list expected in Eugene DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM One of Oregon’s biggest recruiting weekends of the year is coming this weekend. Check out the guest list for Saturday Night Live.

Boise State is terrible at sports outside of football. They have 2 national titles. 1958 Junior College football. 1980 I-AA football. If the idea is to enhance the PAC, there is no reason to invite BSU, even though they do fit into the PAC footprint. Football absolutely wags the dog, but you can't bring in a university for only football. They do have a very loyal fanbase, but do you really see them growing exponentially? They don't have Nike and they don't have an exciting offense. I wouldn't add FSU either. ASU = Phoenix 5th largest city SMU = Dallas 9th largest city SDSU = 8th largest city Colorado = Denver 19th largest city Fresno St. = 34th largest city Boise St. = 94th largest city

Oregon Football: The 10 Offensive linemen you need to know for 2023 DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM They don’t get the deserved glamour or glory, but they’re as important as any position on the field. Here are the top offensive linemen to know in the Pac-12 this season. In this article, I examine 10 offensive linemen who I think will have the most impact on their respective teams in 2023. Some have been shutting down pass-rushers for years, while others are young and have just shown flashes of what they can do. They are in my opinion, the 10 most important offensive linemen to know in the Pac-12 for the 2023 season. There aren’t a ton of stats for the offensive line, at least not basic ones or ones that are readily available. With an absence of statistics, I chose to use a few other metrics to determine the linemen to be highlighted in this article. Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades nearly every position in college football including offensive line, which was something I took into account. I also examined former All-Pac-12 team selections as well as 2023 preseason All-Pac-12 team selections when constructing this list.

With the offense changing from the prevent offense, people are starting to come back to watch the games in the stadium. Under Bellotti, Kelly and Helfrich, the Ducks regularly sold out the weak OOC games. People want to watch the Ducks, but they want an exciting offense.

Stephen Curry has competed in the 3 point contest in: 2009-10, 12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 15-16, 18-19 and 20-21. His best rounds were: 31/40 in 2021 27/34 in 2015 27/34 in 2019 His best final round was: 28/40 in 2021 27/34 in 2015 24/34 in 2019 23/34 in 2016 His most consecutive shots made was 13. Sabrina went 37/40 with 20 consecutive makes in the final round. Sabrina doesn't need to do anything, she already did it. Steph had 7 chances to do what Sabrina did. He can try the 3 point contest next NBA all-star game in 2024.

Deion had a docuseries while coaching at Jackson State. Everybody knew the camera was on.

Deion Sanders has always been about himself since his playing days. He hasn't changed when he became a coach. Dismissing a player in front of the team is him being a bully and him grandstanding for the camera. I'm no way convinced Deion is a good coach yet. He had many D1 players playing against FCS teams. You only need a few dominate players and you are going to win your games. Jackson State played one of the easiest schedules in FCS last year. They played exactly 3 teams with winning records and lost vs the team that was ranked closest to them. They played Southern twice. Team Record Ranking Jackson State 11-1 156 Florida A&M 9-2 190 Tennessee St. 4-7 204 Grambling 3-8 240 Mississippi Valley St. 2-9 251 Alabama St. 6-5 224 Bethune-Cookman 2-9 245 Campbell 5-6 183 Southern 7-5 200 Texas Southern 5-6 220 Alabama A&M 4-7 231 Alcorn St. 5-6 207 Southern 7-5 200 North Carolina Central 10-2 175 Deion could be a good coach, but he will need to prove it over a long period of time.

Remember live sports is not losing money, it is other programming that is losing money. The bucket for sport contracts isn't smaller.
