95.5 just reported that Mike Bellotti is holding a press conference at 11:30 regarding "leadership in the department", and Canzano claims he has sources indicating that Bellotti is stepping down as Oregon AD.
University of Oregon Athletics is in a complete tailspin. What the hell is going on over there? Why don't they just appoint Phil Knight as AD, since that's who realistically is in charge anyway? Just do away with the entire pretense of a corporate/academic split between the two organizations. NCAA be damned! Hell, pay the players, too!
I seriously didnt see Bellotti as an AD for long. It just doesnt seem like him. Good luck to him in whatever he does. Oregon and their fans owe a lot to that guy.
Deal with criminals at U of O or work with Erin Andrews at ESPN? Seems like a no brainer to me! I think he wants to coach again. He'll work for ESPN until a nice coaching job opens up.
Absolutely stunned. For all of it's bluster about wanting to be a "power" in the college football game with Nike's money, they sure have shit in turmoil over there in Eugene.
I dunno 'bout that. Maybe he just realized that he's really just a football guy, and that he's not well-rounded or corporate enough to be an AD.
Well, that was fun..... Give the long suffering Ducks' fans a little taste of success - then kick them in the nads. Nicely done.
Yer goddamn right I'm bitter. The upcoming season was being set up nicely for an ACTUAL BCS Champioship run, not just blowing-smoke-up-ass wishing by Duck fans. Now? Lucky to make the Sun Bowl. Fuck that. There is no God.
