    From the Oregon AD - No fight in Mullens for fall ball. If it saves one life. Lot's of job losses for years. Hard to see it coming back. Kiss it good bye.

    EUGENE — Oregon athletics is budgeting for an 8-game spring football season, Pac-12 Championship Game and no bowl games and a conference-only basketball season among its four preliminary scenarios under which UO will lose $56-81 million in 2020-21.

    Of the four scenarios budgeted by UO athletics, the best-case includes an 8-game football season, Pac-12 Championship Game but no bowl games — there is conference revenue distribution for the latter — and 25% fan attendance at football games and for a conference-only basketball season, NCAA Tournament revenue distribution and other sports resuming after Jan. 1 with some fan attendance. That would lead to a projected $51.6 million in revenues and $107.9 million in expenses for a net loss of $56.3 million, according to UO documents.

    “There are still very, very significant losses,” Moffitt said.

    The scenario with the greatest losses would be no football in the spring but other sports, including basketball, are played without fans. There would be $23.2 million in revenues and $104.3 million in expenses for a net loss of $81.1 million in projected losses, per UO documents.
    “These models (four scenarios) keep changing based on what we think could happen relative to training, practice and season,” Mullens said. “That’s why these have been a bit of a moving target.”

    Dave Portnoy with an impassioned plea to his school (Michigan) to play, along with a shout-out to the Pac-12 at the end.

    Mid-November? Half the conference is either in rain season or snow season. Just cancel it all until next fall.

    Zero chance UW or WSU Presidents/ Regents mount any pressure on Comrade Inslee and his monopolistic Legislature and Courts to avoid pissing them off risking their funding.

    Now, Sam Huard and his gang suing in Federal Court in light of the recent ruling? Does Damon have the stones to do that?

    Son’s Future vs. Cushy Career. Tough choice.
