    Sir Larry Scott.. (P12 considering buying out Larry Scott)

    But the Pac-12 members can elect to have Pac-12 "Newco" handle those multimedia rights that can be substantial revenue stream (millions and even tens of millions per year) so I do think it is germane to the conversation. IMG, Learfield, and others also compete in that space. The article...

    Always go to the "source": https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/941459048 You can look for each conference's historical 990 form on this site. Part VIII (usually page 9) lines 2a thru 2g list the "Program Service Revenue". Not every conference reports it the same but it...

    The Triple Option

    Antwan Randle El toiled in near obscurity at Indiana but his numbers and they fact that he single-handedly made the Hoosiers competitive has to rank up there on the list too.

    The Triple Option

    Dee was great. Amazing leader. Beau Morgan also had amazing talent as a runner and was more of a passing threat (a true dual-threat) but Dee just had that "it" factor.

    The Triple Option

    For a team like Tulane or Rice I would absolutely go for it. Siting in a solid recruiting hotbed but probably will never get many pro-level athletes to play there especially at the QB position. Why not use a scheme that could give you an advantage, be entertaining for your fans, and give you a...

    CU In-State Recruiting 2019

    Just an update on Luc Andrada winning four state track titles recently and nearly breaking the state record in the 100 meter. Just for perspective: Davion Taylor's top 100-meter time was 10.51 while at CU, which was the fastest recorded time at CU in five years. I spoke to Luc recently and he...

    For some reason I had Spoon as nickel in the NFL but guess not.

    In addition, the type of cornerback that he recruited was different. He preferred a PRESS corner. Tucker and Co. seem to prefer COVER corners that require much more traditional athleticism at the position. This is also why many of the CU DB's under MM are favored as nickel corners in the NFL as...

    Sir Larry Scott.. (P12 considering buying out Larry Scott)

    The common thread in the Pac-12/10/8's collective history of being a "weak" conference has been the universities naive approach to blindly trusting their commissioner when the overwhelming subjective evidence is obvious to everyone outside of their "inner circle" that it is time for a change...

    NCAA Assessing Legislation to Pay Players

    I see it as more of a licensing/royalty situation for the elite athletes and maybe a flat fixed fee for the average joe's in the money sports. If you want Tua on the NCAA FB cover and his name and likeness in the game, EA Sports is going to have to pay a lot more to him than to the long...

    Yep, I mislabeled them in the Big Ten numbers. Good catch.

    Sir Larry Scott.. (P12 considering buying out Larry Scott)

    The only other major issue as it relates to TV Network distributions to conferences is the non-football interest: Basketball is the #2 revenue generating sport. The ACC (5), Big Ten (10), and SEC (6) all having the most teams in the top 30 of attendance. The Big 12 has three, and the Pac-12...

    Post Spring Depth/Rep Chart Discussion Thread

    Does Laviska return to his "Z" flanker position or will they move him to the "X" split-end spot? Hambright will most likely (and hopefully) take over one of the two OT spots. Johnson and Jordan will bring much needed depth at nose tackle and if they beat out a healthy and motivated Sami then we...

    Sir Larry Scott.. (P12 considering buying out Larry Scott)

    Yeah, I could see them doing that. The university has been a growth trajectory since the 2002 Olympic games built them a new football stadium and Urban Meyer showed up for the next 2 years and put them on the map as a national program. Oregon seems like the only other program in that position...

    Sir Larry Scott.. (P12 considering buying out Larry Scott)

    Capacity is also an extension of the same "demand". The Pac-12 is actually going backwards in that metric (USC reducing seats at the Coliseum; Cal having just done so). Even if Washington State expanded their stadium to 60,000 I seriously doubt that they would ever sell out unless the Huskies...

    Sir Larry Scott.. (P12 considering buying out Larry Scott)

    TV Network revenue is based on demand (ratings), the Pac-12 fanbase has proven (attendance, TV ratings) that it is not in the ballpark of the SEC, B1G, or even the Big 12 across the board on those fronts. Historically it is on par with the ACC; and we stack up favorably against them to this...

    Sir Larry Scott.. (P12 considering buying out Larry Scott)

    This. Always has been and always will be. At least until there is another college revenue sport that becomes relevant and features a West Coast bias (x-games, eSports). The Pac-10 was at least just as far behind, and quite possibly even more so, than the SEC and Big Ten before Larry Scott...
