Canzano: Monday Mailbag deals with football, angst, Pac-12, Civil War, MW leverage, Dante Moore... and more
"Football is here."
I received a text message from former Oregon Defensive Coordinator Nick Aliotti on Monday. My favorite “paisan” was out for an early morning walk before the temperatures got warm.
“Football is here,” Aliotti wrote.
He’s staying present and in the moment. That’s a theme in today’s Monday Mailbag. Also, college football is definitely on the minds of readers.
What is happening with Oregon quarterback Dante Moore? What is the Pac-12 doing with media rights? How about expansion? Football scheduling for 2026?
What’s with the Civil War angst? Did the departing Mountain West schools get their annual conference distributions or get stiffed? Are Cal and Stanford ready to return to a more regional conference?
The latest on the Trail Blazers sale?
What else?
