Quack Fix: Jeremy Jacob rehabbing, Hayward makes a good impression and baseball loses another assistant

PrintA surprising amount of quack for Tuesday at the end of June. And, only 67 days until LSU!
- Yesterday, Ted Miller posted his preseason tight end review. Noting David Paulson, Brandon Williams and Colt Lyerla, Miller has Oregon as one of three teams listed in "great shape." Miller also has some thoughts on the potential partnership with Google or Apple for the upcoming Pac-12 network. Finally, Miller had a mailbag posted last Friday night that some of you may have missed. Not much related on Oregon, but Miller does go on at length about the SEC culture and whether that can be emulated out west.
- Curtis Anderson calls the USA Track & Field Championships that were held at Hayward Field this past weekend "another triumph for Track Town, USA." Vin Lananna is already looking ahead to the World Championships at the end of the summer in Daegu, South Korea,
- Bob Clark checks in with Jeremy Jacob, who is recovering from separate arthroscopic surgeries on his knees. It sounds like the rehab is going well and Jacob hopes to be able to play when the Ducks go to Italy in August. There are also a bunch of quotes from Altman on the incoming recruits, including this (refreshing) nugget on recruiting:
We can’t have five (recruits) one year and one the next. Three or four (in a class) is always a great number to have ... that’s what we’d like to get to.
- Oregon has lost another baseball assistant. Days after Andrew Checketts left for the head coaching job at UC Santa Barbara, Mike Kirby has left for an assistant position at Cal State Fullerton. Kirby's move appears to be lateral, though he returns to his alma mater.
- Freshman sensation English Gardner was named the Pac-10 Women's Track and Field Newcomver of the Year. In her first season, Gardner has already etched her name across the school, conference and (junior) national record books.
Go Ducks!

Wait, that’s how I thought all basketball teams operated? You mean it isn’t normal to “rebuild” every 2-3 years?

What do you bet the partnership rights are a split
just like the media deal was. I could see Scott teaming up with DirectTV, or Comcast to give a Pac 12 channel on their line up, and then partnering with Google or Apple for all the IP distribution. I don’t think Scott wants to completely abandon the traditional model just yet, but I fully expect the Pac 12 to be innovative and technologically driven.
Again jump out ahead of the curve and watch as the other conferences scramble to catch up.

It really depends on what type of demands the TV partner makes. Part of the problem in past contracts is that internet distribution is not allowed if it conflicts with TV distribution. I have no doubt that Scott will not allow this same type of situation to happen, but the key will be getting Comcast/DirectTV on board while still allowing internet distribution to happen on the side through a totally different provider.

College athletic subsidies
You say you always wanted to know how much athletics are subsidized at Oregon? Pac-10? East Cupcake U? Well the USA Today has your numbers.
Pac-10/12 figures for 2010:
Oregon 2%
Washington 3%
UCLA 5%
Arizona 12%
Wazzu 24%
Arizona St 18%
Oregon St 20%
California 17%
One would expect the new TV contact to lower these figures but who knows? Maybe some schools will take the TV money as a way to spend on new toys.
Wow
the Big East is pathetic
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Pac10 is not great either honestly
in comparison to BigTen, Big12, SEC. We have 5 teams with over 10% contribution, will absorb Utah at 20%+ and Colorado as the highest Big12 at 20+% while the other major football conferences only have 1-2 teams with slightly over 10% contribution. Is this mostly TV deal/ previous PAC10 commissioner incompetence related, or just bookkeeping differences?
Where is USC btw?
A lot of it has to do with the fact that the Big East and the Pac had the worst TV deals in the history of TV deals. With the new deal for the Pac this should clear up a lot of those schools and the Big East goes into negotiations for their deal next year.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Context.
The 3 conferences you listed have had higher revenues historically than the P10. One might say that the PAC has out-performed those conferences due to the revenue disparity. With the new deal(s), we will see this change for the better.

Crappy football is their problem
College teams make so much more $ on football than basketball. If your football conference sucks, that will happen.

So much for Oregon claiming they are self-sufficient.

Also, that number likely will not drop for Oregon. They get some money from the sports game lottery, and that won’t change, even with the extra cash they will get.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Why wouldn't it drop?
Well, it depends of if that 2% is partly the academic support that is paid for by the university itself rather than by the athletic department. But other than that, the new “deal” will more than cover an extra $2M. I can certainly see many people (politicians, folks on the academic side, even people in the AD) questioning why UO Athletics would continue to justify subsidies if it can run with a surplus without tax or other public dollars.
Ducks GOOOOD. Fuskies BAAAAAD.

That would require politicians actually doing something. I’m not betting on that possibility. If they stop any subsidies that Oregon’s getting, then yeah, it’ll drop.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I'm unclear about what subsidies the AD is getting?
I know they receive academic assistance from the University-at-large. How much of that $2M number comes from that?

article about how chip kelly is one anonymous tip away from being fired. does anyone think that nothing is going on? do people think that oregon actually committed a violation but it can’t be proven?
personally i don’t know if i’m worried or if the media is making me worried.

I don't think CK
is even close to being fired. There won’t be an anonymous tip, and even if the NCAA finds violations, it will be because they want to crack down on scouting services going forward and that Oregon operated in the gray area with Lyles and other services, but did not do anything overtly against the rules.
Curse you, Offseason.
The reason Tressel went was a pattern of bad behavior and lying to the NCAA
That stretched back nearly a decade and provable.

ANY coach is one anonymous tip away from being fired. It just depends on what that tip is, and if it has merit. That article was terrible.
