Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:33 PM I won't waste your time with very much of Canzano's recent article where he is declaring that the B1G and SEC should, "do what is right." You mean like letting two Pac-12 schools get paid a massive amount more than they were worth for decades by the conference...but now you want to do it on a national scale with all Group-of-Five teams? No, the Super-2 Conferences deserve to finally get what they contribute to college football, and they are finally being strong about it. The stat that caught my eye was..."Those two conferences already control 58 percent of the CFP revenue, or about $21 million per school. Think of it...the Pac-12 media revenue that the Pig-2 wanted us to accept was what...22 million per year? And now we receive nearly as much just from the Playoff revenue alone? Looks like we made the right move, getting our fair share of what our brand deserves after all the work creating it for years. No, we did not just sit there and receive an over-sized portion of the pie for doing nothing. It is payoff time for Oregon, and the projected 54 million+ per year is needed to survive in the future. Sure the little guys want to survive, and I don't blame them for that, but they really just want to pull us down to their level. 2 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabbaNoBargain No. 2 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM (edited) Right on. IMO - As soon as things moved to a playoff instead of a massive bowl system by invitation, the notion of a “league” with 130 teams for the “big boys” became ridiculous.

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 3 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:47 PM As I reflect upon it....each team in the B1G, even Purdue, Northwestern, and Rutgers are receiving 21 million a year just from the college football playoff? Wowsa. It sure pays to be in the right conference! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven A Moderator No. 4 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:51 PM I used to read Canzano until he decided to be un-objective about the breakup of the PAC. Now it seems like most of his columns are either behind the paywall or PIG 2 centric. I wonder how much his audience has shrunk since the almost nonstop pouting about the breakup and "insights" into new media deals for the trash left behind. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon should, should have done the right thing? Stayed attached to Beavis and battled it out for space on The CW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we did not just sit there and receive an over-sized portion of the pie for doing nothing. Not to mention very low viewership being only on Apple streaming. That would have been a brand killer for Oregon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually writes great articles about Oregon...sucking up to that audience, while writing "Poor-Me" articles for his Pig-2 subscribers. He is straddling the fence pretty well! I'm sure he knows what he's doing... Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 8 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:10 PM Canzano has a core readership that laps up his woe is me Pac2 columns. They are repeaters on every column he writes on the subject. They consistently comment about how terrible Oregon was to abandon the Pac while ignoring the sequence of USC>UCLA>Colorado being the first to head out the door. Rarely do people who affiliate themselves with WSU complain about the defectors (which I call escapees) and almost never solely target UW with their ire. The Beavis readers have PTSD (Pac Terminal Separation Disease) When the $21M CFP shares kick in during 2026, Oregon's Big Ten conference share will be well worth the jump even during a period of partial media share. archive.ph ARCHIVE.PH 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
