Jon Canzano thinks Oregon (like, apparently, USC) should explore independence. While I don’t think this is a serious discussion actually going anywhere, I do get whiffs of Big-12/Texas problems where more successful schools start to chafe at equal revenue sharing.
If anybody from the Pac-12 goes independent, jettison them from every schedule of every Cal sport immediately.
The candidate I voted for stepped out the day I dropped off my ballot. Wish I could get it back. Meanwhile, let's vote out Larry Scott and get someone in who can increase the TV revenue and actually get a deal done with some of the cable/streaming networks that aren't Comcast.
So, as of today, new comments aren't popping up for me anymore, and I can't tell what's new when I hit refresh either. This whole system is a mess and I hope it's going to be improved at some point soon.
question. how do i get that pop up box to stop popping up? what more does it want from me? I have a scrren name, a bio, a n email, and a password. do you need my ssn amd mothers maiden name too?
Looks like we have the choice of an email for every article posted, or none. Would like to get one email per day with a one-liner or paragraph of articles posted that day. Sort of like nextdoor - @the standard by which all community discussion sites should be judged@
Any chance this "post a comment" box can ALSO appear at the bottom or in the middle of the comment string where I might be motivated to post a comment?
Gotta say, as a creature of habit it will take me a while to get used to the W4C format over CGB.....
I think it's less about the equal sharing and more about the fact that P12 leadership has been atrocious (#FireLarryScott!). While I agree that them going independent isn't the best route, I like the fact that they are using their leverage to do something. Perhaps it forces the Larry Scott holdouts at ASU, OSU, UCLA to rethink their positions. After all, successful programs leaving the conference hurts the conference.
When Phil Knight is writin' cheques, you can get away with all sorts of delusions. Totally agree about this having "Whiffs of Big-12/Texas problems".
In corporate culture, there's the phrase that "growth cures all ills", where, so long as there's money rolling in, everyone will play nicely. I'm thinking that a solid dose of growth would cure these ills for our conference. I agree with DCTrojan and NYCGoBears that Larry Scott is a key inhibitor of that growth, and must be removed, for the good of the conference. "Ceterum censeo Larry Scott esse delendam!!"
Not a whole lot of comments so far but everything seems in order. Yesterday I had comments showing up out of time order so it was really hard to follow. Hopefully on to good times.

I’m all for getting rid of Larry Scott but the premise is ridiculous. Duck delusion is deep.
Well.... bye then.

'should have clarified when i asked for more asian representation in media that i did NOT mean "in the photo of every coronavirus article"'
I'm still waiting for Scott to reel in the $400 million private equity investment he started talking about last year. Doubt he can raise the money.
Let's make another comment
Time to do some live QA testing of comments, carry on...

question. how do i get that pop up box to stop popping up? what more does it want from me? I have a scrren name, a bio, a n email, and a password. do you need my ssn amd mothers maiden name too?
the page refreshing for new comments is annoying af too.
not knowing where to look for new comments is confusing and time consuming
Is it going to ask me to subscribe to the newsletter every time I come to the site? Because I am not here for the sports...
I wish we could embed tweets and pica and gifs... doesn;t feel the same as the old dbd

Huh... I’m used to DBD topics not being so thought provoking. This is a little too deep for me to handle this early in the morning.
