Commentators need to admit once they’re incorrect. I used to be very incorrect to imagine that Oregon and Washington would clearly transfer to the Huge Ten as soon as USC and UCLA packed their baggage on June 30.
What did I and lots of others miss about Oregon? It’s not simply the greenback worth query (one former Fox govt put Stanford’s annual media rights worth at a determine $15 million greater than Oregon, which few folks anticipated).
As a lot as realignment is certainly a product of tv and what the 2 giants, ESPN and Fox, need for his or her tv stock, different elements matter loads.
Faculty sports activities guide Tony Altimore, showing with Trojans Wire and host Mark Rogers on The Voice of Faculty Soccer, famous that on the administrative degree (presidents and chancellors), USC and UCLA had been a dream come true for the Huge Ten. USC and UCLA, in flip, are thrilled to associate with Michigan in Ann Arbor and collaborate on mentoring and analysis.
Altimore defined why Oregon doesn’t stack up in any respect in these areas. It’s a really informative dialog, a part of our USC present this previous week.
We’re on with Mark Rogers at The Voice of Faculty Soccer each Tuesday simply after 1 p.m. in Los Angeles.
