Sorry, USC, but the Oregon Ducks are locking in. There's something very different about Dan Lanning's team.

There's a shift of mentality and leadership happening at Washington State. The Cougars seized the news cycle with a surprise firing.

(And psst, the Pac-12 is asking its new-world ADs to sign NDAs.)

I spoke with New Mexico coach Jason Eck about his success, his vision, and whether his team plays for something extra when it faces a future Pac-12 member.

Plus: Sacramento State plotting, Oregon State coaching search, and more.

Lenny Wilkens died today.

He is a legend.

I spoke with Lenny in a 1-on-1 interview years ago in which we discussed his friendship with Jackie Robinson, winning basketball, and life.

The implosion of the Pac-12 isn't really working for anyone, except the Oregon Ducks.

I took a deep dive into travel, on-field performance, and the struggles. It's not pretty.

Oregon State lost another doozy of a game on Saturday. But the coaching search in Corvallis is moving along.

The early candidates... some surprises... the framework... the search committee is meeting again this week, I'm told.
