From John Canzano (The Oregonian):
The ADs I spoke with said they haven’t seen any potential revenue numbers yet.
Said one AD, “The dialogue, candor, and environment have been positive. Everyone is moving in the same direction.”
Are there still threats out there?
Sure.
Said the AD: “It’s a singular threat — the Big Ten and the Big Ten only. That’s it. The Big 12 threat is laughable.”

I floated that Oregon-Washington-Stanford question to a current Big Ten Conference athletic director, who waved it off. "I think Stanford might be interesting to our conference presidents just because of the academic piece,” he said, “but unless Notre Dame is coming in too, I don’t think further expansion happens in this cycle.”

Camzano has unnamed sources for quotes in every propaganda piece he churns out. Every single time.

First, the guy is one of the top sports journalists in the country. He is a 12-time Associated Press Sports Editors (APSE) award winner. He's won APSE awards in four different writing categories (column, investigative reporting, enterprise and projects). Secondly, if you want to believe that it is a "propaganda piece" then you are not going to believe anything he says. He was at the Pac-12 Media Day last Friday and had multiple interviews with Pac-12 officials on the record, including Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff.

Guys like Jason Scheer are not sitting down for interviews with the Commissioner, they are not at the Pac-12 Media Day, they are not award winning journalists and they only work with unnamed sources. I think I will trust Canzano over Scheer.

He's become a joke. He's the new Mhver

He posts quotes from unnamed sources.. that's how he reports most of this. He could be making everything up. Hard to tell when it's all "I've been told by a current PAC AD...."

It's utterly worthless journalism in the guise of twitter clickbait to drive up his numbers on his own personal news website endeavor.
