Phil Knight is 86 years old. Does Oregon lose some steam in this new NIL era once he kicks the bucket? All this expansion talk just got me thinking...

Thought it said Orgeron and Phil Knight, and didn’t know where it would go from there.

Be interesting to see. Good question. Wonder if being headquartered in Beaverton is really that advantageous without someone wanting it there (doubt they get the best tax breaks that they could, didn’t check though).

Yes. I'm sure we'll still be Nike's test child for uniforms because of Tinker Hatfield but there's no way the money keeps coming like it did for facilities.
I dont know if I'd rather go to the Big 10 or Big 12. Big 10 means money but we could end up like Nebraska. Big 12 means games in Texas, I'd rather have access to those recruits to replace SoCal than the Midwest.
Is there a possibility that a Pac/Big 12 merger could start a bidding war not because of TV contract $$ but over the CFP contract? There is a CFB Cold War between Fox and ESPN. If ESPN gets full media rights for the SEC, ACC, and PAC/B12 they have enough ADs in their pocket to continue to own CFB and and will lock up the CFP TV contract which is huge $$$. There is no way the bidding war would come close to the SEC and B1G payouts, but control of CFB is at stake so it could get payouts to the $60M range per school.

Probably but unless he dies in the next 6 months they will be in a conference for the seeable future and that’s all that matters.
