Mailbag: Stanford and Cal caught in ACC breakup(?), Big Ten revenue shares, the Pac-2 lawsuit, media decisions and more

The Hotline mailbag publishes each Friday. Send questions to [email protected] and include ‘mailbag’ in the subject line. Or hit me on Twitter: @WilnerHotline.Please note: Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity.With news of schools in the ACC possibly leaving soon, is there a chance the conference will be no more? Or will enough schools stick around? Also would Stanford and Cal look to work back to the Pac-12? — @ag10899So much to unpack with this topic, but let’s start with the core issue: The use of the word “news.”The Hotline is aware of the noise on social media. But we have yet to read or hear anything that resembles hard news about the imminent breakup of the ACC.It will happen, eventually. But the timeframe is more likely years than months or weeks.Next, we need to define what constitutes a breakup: Is that two or three schools leaving, or the majority? And where would they land?That was Florida State’s central pr...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:35:50 GMT

After failing to offer any resistance against the top-scoring team in the country, Stanford gets another chance to stop a high-powered offense Saturday when Oregon visits Stanford Stadium (3:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network).The Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) are second in the country in points per game (54.0) behind Southern Cal (55.0). The Trojans led 49-3 at halftime against Stanford in the second week of the season before pulling Heisman-winning quarterback Caleb Williams in a game that ended 56-10.The Ducks have their own Heisman hopeful at quarterback in Bo Nix, who accounted for four touchdowns, including an 80-yard run, in last year’s 45-27 win over Stanford in Eugene.“He’s great in the pocket, gets himself out of trouble,” Cardinal coach Troy Taylor said. “He doesn’t rely on his running ability, but he’s a very good runner. He’s a guy that’s got a lot of confidence in his ability and the system. And they have good people around him.”Oregon leads the nation in yards ...

Editorial: Feinstein succeeded by eschewing political partisanship

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:35:50 GMT

In the current era of hyperpartisan state and national politics, elected leaders in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., should pause to reflect on Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s willingness to pragmatically reach across the aisle.The oldest member of the U.S. Senate, California’s first woman elected to the upper house of Congress, and the longest-tenured female senator in American history, Feinstein died Thursday night at her home in the nation’s capital. She was 90.For too many with only short-term memories, she will be remembered for her refusal to resign her Senate seat as her health failed and her mental acuity declined. But that narrow focus on the final few years of her life misses the importance of her political career that spanned more than half a century.Feinstein was not a political ideologue. She was a trailblazer and great leader respectful of the state’s diverse electorate and loathe to get too far ahead of it. It’s a legacy that Gov. Gavin Newsom should respect as he appoints he...

Leonardo also entered a no contest plea to second degree murder. Both were sentenced Sept. 19, at the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin, to 15 years to life, with Armstrong receiving one extra year for use of a knife du...

McCarthy’s last-ditch plan to avoid a shutdown collapses

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:35:50 GMT

By Lisa Mascaro, Kevin Freking and Stephen Groves | Associated PressWASHINGTON — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s last-ditch plan to keep the federal government temporarily open collapsed on Friday as hard-right holdouts rejected the package, making a shutdown almost certain.McCarthy’s right-flank Republicans refused to support the bill despite its steep spending cuts of nearly 30% to many agencies and severe border security provisions, calling it insufficient.The White House and Democrats rejected the Republican approach as too extreme.The bill’s failure a day before Saturday’s deadline to fund the government leaves few options left to prevent a shutdown that will furlough federal workers, keep the military working without pay and disrupt programs and services for millions of Americans.The outcome puts McCarthy’s speakership in serious jeopardy with almost no political leverage to lead the House at a critical moment that has pushed the government into cr...
