Oregon Football cuts ties with Phil Knight

Never understood why the lefty sports media has always found Oregon football so magical given these dynamics and not treated them like a corporate market-researched villain.
 
Understanding this is schadenfreude week (well, every week is schadenfreude week for Oregon), Knight contributing to the Republicans to try and make the state of Oregon a legitimate member of the Union doesn't seem like schadenfreude. It seems like an image helper, if anything.

Because the sport media is a corporate market-researched villain whose entire industry has been elevated by that corporate market-researched villain.

It's all Moore's Law, boss.

Moore's Law indirectly influences TV ad revenue for football by driving the technological changes that shift media consumption habits and advertising platforms. While the NFL's TV ad revenue remains strong due to the unique value of live sports, the underlying technology trends are creating a transition to streaming and digital advertising. 
Moore's Law and the Media LandscapeMoore's Law, the observation that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, means that technology becomes more powerful and cheaper over time. This relentless technological progress has several consequences for the media industry: 
  • Enabling Streaming and Digital Platforms: The increased processing power and reduced cost of technology have enabled the rise of high-quality digital streaming services (like Amazon Prime Video, https://www.peacocktv.com/, and Netflix) and advanced mobile devices.
  • Audience Fragmentation: Consumers have more choices for entertainment, leading to audience fragmentation and a decline in viewership for traditional, scripted TV content. This makes live sports, particularly the NFL, even more valuable to advertisers as one of the few remaining ways to reach a massive, live audience.
  • Advanced Advertising Technology: The computing power driven by Moore's Law allows for sophisticated ad-targeting systems and data analytics, making digital ads highly effective and measurable. 
 
If Bill Gates wanted to kick the UW football program $50 billion would the Tug forgive him for creating Covid and eating babies or whatever?
