"Ohio State is the favorite to win the Big Ten this season, but even with Michigan coming off a national title, many view the Ducks as the biggest threat to the Buckeyes in 2024. It would be a remarkable story for the Ducks to compete for a conference title in their first year in the league. It would certainly buck the trend of what normally happens when new schools enter one of the Power Four leagues, but with the way Oregon has recruited at both the high school level as well as in the portal, there may not be a team that's ever been in such a strong position to do so."



"A large-scale revenue-sharing model is in the developing stages, which essentially reveals the endgame in all of this. With players and reps now dictating terms, this seems to be the only way the current a resolution is met.

But while revenue sharing represents forward thinking that's needed in today's climate, it only puts a thumb in the dike.
The whole intent at this point is to stop the spigot of antitrust lawsuits. There are a handful that could be particularly impactful, but House v. NCAA is the most prominent at the moment with a trial date scheduled for January 2025. It must be dealt with first.

But that seems only a stop-gap measure. Revenue sharing might influence settlements in other cases, but that's not assured. Most importantly, it doesn't stop anyone, anywhere on the players' end to file another suit.

Big picture, there is only one way all of this ends: collectively bargaining with a players' association. That shields the NCAA and schools from further litigation because the parties agree on working conditions, health and welfare, salary, etc. "
