Oregon’s president just left. For the B1G.

can't blame him....he's reportedly getting a substantial raise and he's going to a private U like Stanford, with almost as much prestige. Won't have to deal with the Oregon state board of higher ed anymore. The only bureaucracy he'll deal with will be the one he's on top of.

I wish Michael the best. He took my Uber one evening and he was very friendly and outgoing. A really good dude. Not stand-offish like many in his position can be. It was cool being Duck One , even if only for a little while.
 
Mookie cook back with the Ducks.

Not surprising based on everything I was seeing a week and a half ago. If they can hold onto them through the next year, that could be an exciting team come 23-24.
 
Was watching the Mookie highlight compilation thats linked below & noticed #24 on the yellow team he's frequently matched up against looks familiar. Shaedon tries to pack it on Mookie at the 2:30ish mark.

LeBron steps in

The NBA superstar put a damper on the buzz around the recruitment of his oldest son Bronny in response to a report that Oregon has emerged as the frontrunner to land the 17-year-old. I mean … can you imagine the NIL deals on the table here? “He hasn't taken 1 visit yet and has only had a few calls with coaches and universities. When Bronny makes his choice you'll hear it from him,” LeBron tweeted. The 6-foot-3 rising senior is ranked No. 43 in the country for 2023, per the 247Sports Composite. LeBron told The Athletic earlier this year that he plans to play the final season of his NBA career with his son.

Tyrone Williams highlights. Combined with Will Richardson, Oregon will feature two lefties in the backcourt

Lebron said he wants to play on the same team as his kid. And Lebron never went to college.

Ducks should recruit him and his kid.

Haha. Sometimes I have a dream where somehow it's discovered I have a year of high school football eligibility left and I an so excited to be running out on the field again.

So they both have 4 years of eligibility. Think of the NIL possibilities... they could be rich!

tea leaves are certainly pointing to Oregon-Stanford-Washington joining Big-10, and creating a 5 team Western Pod. At the same time, just about everything in the wold of college football is getting hung up around Notre Dame's 'Hamlet-to-be-or-not-to-be-shit-or-get-off-the-pot' act.

an irony, for Duck fans, is the media factor they almost universally hated was those late games on 'Pac-12 After Dark'. But as it turns out, in terms of media, it is the Pac-12's most valuable commodity. And it very well may be the vehicle the Ducks ride into the Big-10. If the Big-10 has 5 (or 6?) teams in the Pacific time zone, there will be an option for a late game every week, and their media partners, especially Fox, would love that. It might even bring ESPN back to the table.
 
As a guy who grew up in Eugene, this is all really sad to me. Money and greed are ruining college football. There will be no more tradition, no more regional rivalry games. It's fucking sad.
If the players are going to be straight up professional athletes, and we are talking about a billion dollar industry, WTF are the teams even affiliated with an institution of higher education?

Let's be honest: High level D1 football hasn't been amatuer for decades. Money has ruled the sport and the majority of student athletes are picking their unversities for their reputation in the sports, not academics.

Pac-8, Pac-10, Pac-12, to ??? The landscape is always changing. Change is hard, but I'm glad to see the fake amatuer-athlete title to finally be more transparent.
