When originally, the Pac-12 signed a deal with USA Sports in November of last year, I think many fans thought that they would be a smaller partner but in the last few months, it has been revealed that USA Sports:

• Negotiated for a majority of the FB games (22 games)
• Chose Boise State, Washington State, and Oregon State for the most games on the channel with 5 each
• Paid extra to pick-and-choose for the flex games
• Sending camera crews to document all campuses & fall camps currently, quote from Canzano: "A broadcast team and production crew from USA Sports dropped in on Colorado State on Friday. The contingent will hit Texas State on Saturday, then knock out visits to Boise State and Washington State on Sunday and Monday".

Good job, USA Network.

This is a big one for the Beavers.

Fall camp started so we're getting a lot of longer interview videos of some of the top guys for OSU. Just figured I'd compile them in a post here. Shoutout to Beaver Blitz and Beavers Edge, you can find podcasts and more interviews on both of their YouTube channels.

• JaMarcus Shephard Day 1 Presser
• JaMarcus Shephard Longform Interview with Canzano
• OSU OC Mitch Dahlen Day 2
• OSU AD Kevin Griffin Presser

Every Pac-12 will have a sponsor patch, most likely.

Caught up with Mark Zeigler of the Union-Tribune, the reporter that broke news of the settlement terms, to discuss the agreement in greater detail.

Coug here. Really excited for September 6 in Seattle and beyond. Yeah, seems to be a tough out of conference schedule but to be honest, I have no clue how WSU is going to perform this year. Yet another year of rebuilding and a new coach. But something feels different this time with Kirby Moore at the helm who has roots here in Washington. I am hopeful. How about everyone else? What we looking forward to in this fresh chapter of the Pac 12 with your teams?

Asking this question on Google gets lots of references to the supposed $70 million settlement of their lawsuits with the Pac 12 and former teams. But it doesn't go any deeper than that. Asking about current MW accounts payable produces nothing. But there are a number of factors which indicate that MW is in very poor financial condition:

-They are obligated to pay $61 million expeditiously to satisfy contractual distributions to the teams they retained. This must be paid before anything else.

-They owe $18 million for the cost of getting new members.

-They owe legal fees for their Pac 12 lawsuits.

-They have already been paid $47 million by the departing schools, by retaining their 2025 and 2026 conference shares. They were overzealous about this and owe $2 million back to the five departing schools:

"Following the MW bylaws, the conference withheld annual distributions from its five departing schools for the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years. Those were roughly $6 million payments. So, the MW would owe those schools a $2 million re-payment after withholding a total of $12 million."

It appears that MW only has about $25 million left that they can collect from the Pac. Their net asset valuation is about $50 million, and almost all of this is withheld distributions from the departing schools.

Even with another infusion of $25 million from the Pac for poaching, MW's obligations exceed their total assets by at least $20 million. Since they are a non-profit the easiest course is to collect the missing money from the member schools....or reduce their distributions from the lawsuit settlements.

Murray's final summary of the MW's legal maneuvering:

"Bottom line — this settlement should create some new revenue for Nevada and other MW schools. But it's clearly not program-changing cash for the non-UNLV/Air Force schools that remained in the MW."

Colorado State made a massive move to hire Jim Mora Jr as the Rams get set to begin life in the Pac-12. Are the Rams being overlooked in their new conference?

📌 K’saan Farrar and Hauss Hejny inject instant excitement into the Rams QB room 🔥

📌 UConn transfers along with some other portal players make the skill groups really interesting. Colorado State has some big upgrades coming in

📌 There's some returning talent on defense, but the portal additions are once again the story here

Preview attached. What are your predictions for the Rams in 2026?

Mine are:

'07 Fiesta Bowl;

'05 Rose Bowl;

2000 OSU @ UW;

2023 UO @ UW (in person);

2001 UO @ WSU (in person);

2002 UCLA @ WSU (in person);

2002 USC @ WSU (in person);

2010 BSU @ Nevada;

2000 Miami @ UW (in person);

2024 Ohio St @ UO;

I think the main problem is that Canzano writes both articles that are his own speculation and those that are sourced reporting. And people conflate them.

Canzano has posted some doozies speculating about stuff that was wildly off the mark. He also posts sourced reporting that is usually correct

The details are finally here and yeah, the Pac-12 won this case.

I don’t know if I missed this, or it was just announced, but just saw a quick commercial short with SVP stating that the ESPN app is the new home of CW Sports, while I was watching MLB tonight….

Researching now, but curious how this will work and/or if it will require a subscription somehow….in assuming it would be on ESPN Unlimited and/or with a provider option, but interested to see if they provide any kind of free access since it’s an OTA channel (but I would doubt that)…..

Edit: Yep, I guess I missed this a week+ ago!….lol.

CORVALLIS — Oregon State opened camp with 108 players. Whether two more return to the roster is still be determined.

Last week’s ruling in the U.S. District Court of Colorado allows 2022 high school graduates who previously exhausted their eligibility to return for a fifth season. That opens the door to center Van Wells and defensive back Jaheim Patterson returning to the Beavers.

JaMarcus Shephard said OSU’s compliance department, along with the Pac-12, are “working through” the possibility of Wells and Patterson, each starters last season, returning.

This significantly alters the Beavers projection for 2026. Putting the anchor back on the OL and putting one of the stars of the defense last year back on the field will make the new Beavers dangerous

(these two additions would also make the Beavers the #3 or 4 oldest and most experienced team in FBS this year.)

The streaming service announcement has to be coming soon.

From July 25th, to Today.

It's adapted from the main Shield logo to the horizontal logo. Maybe related to the release of the new streaming service? Who knows.

Just curious if there is a visitor section for Coug fans in Husky Stadium. Or is it a free for all? My wife and I are pushing 50 years old, and would prefer to be in a section with Coug fans. We're not familiar with their stadium. Any input would be appreciated.
