Wow, that's massive. I had no idea. Thanks.

it is massive which is why some think the ACC schools, or at least some of them, might challenge it in court

IIRC, Notre Dame has no penalty in football. But they do in all other sports and the estimate is they would have to pay a 120M penalty, from the other sports, to leave

understand, I am only relaying what I've read in the last 10 days or so. And it has been a tsunami of tweets and conjecture and flat-out bullshit since the announcement about USC/UCLA came out. So maybe, the numbers I've seen are way too high.

I do know the GOR the ACC schools signed is extreme

be a pretty difficult case to make that Rutgers, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt were eligible for a national championship but Oregon, Washington, and Stanford were not. And for that matter, with how firmly the ACC has their members locked up till 2036, teams like Clemson and North Carolina wouldn't be eligible either

Pretty simple fix…
Two different National championships.
ACC/Big12/Pac12/Go5
SEC/B1G “leave” the NCAA

Yay, we're the division 1B, better than FCS but not a good as the SEC/B1G champs!

Better fix for me would be universities cut ties with those programs and they form a semi-pro league, and make college football an amateur sport. Never happen of course.
 
I don’t know if this is workable, but I would love to see college football get rid of cupcake scheduling to pad records. What if it was required that teams that want to be in contention for the title playoffs have to declare that before the start of the season. Contenders would have to leave three non-conference games open and those games would be assigned randomly from other contenders outside of the conference. If a team knows it’s not going to contend, schedule all the patsy opponents you want, but your padded record won’t buy consideration for the playoffs.
 
I'm guessing there will be another reshuffling of the deck before we get to 2o24. If they're going to toss traditions out the window with D1 football, then they might as well do it in a way that makes the most sense.

I went there many many times during the summers I lived in Eugene. Really fun.

Someone on Reddit who lives nearby said they have to call lifeflight out there constantly. The place probably shouldn't be open to the public.

The slide rock part is pretty tame and fun. There is/was? a pool of water above the slide rock part where people cliff dive/jump. That part is very dangerous. I used to dive & jump there. A friend I was with slipped off the narrow cliff everyone jumps from, tumbled down the rocks and hit the underside of his chin on a log sticking out of the water. I had just jumped and was swimming to shore when he fell. I was the first to reach him. He was face down in the water and out cold. Blood spurting from a giant gash in his neck under his chin. I lifted him out of the water and was able to dog paddle us back to shore. We through him in the back of his car and fly to the hospital. Blood everywhere in the car.

That was actually the last time I ever went there.

I thought they had dynamited a bunch of that area to get rid of the cliff diving part.

Haven't really heard if that's what happened.

Yeah, I remember this area well. I worked all year round while attending Oregon, so I was in Eugene every summer.
I climbed up there one time to jump off.....and never again. Very slick. It was more dangerous climbing up than it was jumping/diving in.
That was 40 years ago. Sounds like it has not changed.
 
Damn, that's tragic. I've had my own cliff jumping scares. RIP.
 
Sad....

Oregon Football Star Spencer Webb, 22, Dies in Rock Sliding Accident After Hitting His Head

Oregon football player Spencer Webb has died at age 22 following a rock sliding accident.

The standout tight end for the Ducks fell and hit his head near Triangle Lake, about 35 miles from the university's Eugene, Oregon, campus, on Wednesday afternoon.

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning confirmed Webb's death on Twitter.

"So full of life in every moment of the day. Your smile and energy will be missed Spencer. I love you!" Lanning wrote Wednesday night.

Authorities responded to the scene at around 2:30 p.m. According to the Lane County Sheriff's Office, bystanders and paramedics were unable to revive Webb, who had slipped and fallen approximately 100 yards down a steep trail.
 
Sorry, I posted this in OT. Forgot there was a Ducks thread here.
 
Sorry, just saw this mentioned in the Ducks thread.
 
The outpouring of love from his teammates and those who knew him speaks to what a special person Spencer was. No matter how big and strong a person looks, everyone's health is really fragile balance not to be taken for granted. RIP SW

Impressive, but subtract out the past 35 years from the years that preceded them and you get 21-30. Those are the Ducks I remember growing up. Thank goodness for Phil Knight.

True. I remember watching the ducks in the early 90's. Autzen was a bare bones bowl, and the starting QB was Danny O'Neil. Kind of a Fresno State level program back then, with a mediocre offense. Montana and Dave Dickenson gave them all they wanted that day. Now it's big boy level. I wish somehow the Pac 12 could remain. F those Smogtowners. I'm excited about the trajectory of the Ducks under Coach Lanning. The Ducks Football Program doesn't need to play second fiddle to anyone, and sure as hell doesn't need to beg for the Big 10 to somehow let them in. FUCK the Big 10. Long live the new Pac 10, or 12, or 20.
