Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 23:37:03 GMT

Four months ago, the Pac-12 dismissed two senior executives for failing to properly report years of overpayments by a media partner that totaled at least $50 million.The situation was bad enough given the facts presented at the time — the media partner, later identified as Comcast, assuredly will attempt to recoup the money — but the financial damage to the Pac-12 campuses ultimately could prove much worse.We’ll get to those gruesome details momentarily. For now, our focus is on the cleanup process:How the schools plan to cover the shortfall if Comcast withholds at least $50 million in payments and the Pac-12 Networks, in turn, cannot meet the annual revenue distribution goals that have been baked into campus budgets.To make the Hotline’s position clear: The athletic departments should not, under any circumstances, take the hit.The expected reductions in distributions from the conference office to the athletic departments should be covered by the university p...

Goats deployed to clear vegetation from Oakland Hills ahead of fire season

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 23:37:03 GMT

(KRON) — The Oakland Fire Department are set to deploy a herd of about 1,200 goats to chomp down fields of dangerous vegetation ahead of fire season. The goats have been deployed annually since 1994 as a sustainable fire prevention method.Each year, OFD deploys thousands of goats to eat away at hard-to-reach flammable plants from the Oakland hillsides. This year's herd is set to arrive on May 16, according to Oakland Fire Department officials.The goats were first brought in just three years after the devastating 1991 Oakland Hills fire, which killed 25 people and destroyed thousands of homes. Historically, the fire department has been reported to spend about $500,000 to truck in the goats each year.This year's fire season prep is crucial especially after an unseasonably wet winter that officials say could cause a longer and more destructive fire season due to all the early-blooming foliage that will eventually dry out.
