That's still pretty far-fetched, Eric. More likely the kid just got confused. He's just a kid trying to make the best decision for his future.

Here's the direct quote from the article....

Update | 10:08 p.m. Butler said he made the change after talking to his webmaster and Arthur Brown Sr., the father of Bryce Brown.
“We can get more hits that way, which will build the revenue for advertising, which is the most important source of revenue anyway,” Butler said in a telephone interview. “It was a pretty easy thing to weigh out with the amount of subscriptions we were getting, which were very few. It was an easy business decision.”
Making money from advertising was the original plan for the Web site, Butler said.
“Basically, what it’s looking like is all the recruiting service guys are just stealing the news and taking it and putting it on their site,” he said. “Nobody’s coming.”
Butler said Arthur Brown Sr. would eventually become the webmaster for his Web site.
“He’s very versatile actually,” Butler said.

So, based on what his dad said, the longer this plays out the more money they make. May not be much, but that seems to be the motivation.

It will get to a point where people will just wait to see what happens, and stop spending their money to find out nothing.

Eric, I know you have familiarity with revenue from website advertising. How much additional money do you honestly think that extending Bryce's recruitment by 4 weeks would generate? Think of all the hits they will get once he commits to a school. It's inconsequential.

I guarantee you, advertising revenue is the last thing on Bryce's mind right now.

Maybe, but the quotes from his dad do tell me that they want revenue from his son's recruitment. I guess to me, making money off of my son's recruitment to college, doesn't make you out to be the most caring parent.

Hey, I've been gone all weekend. Has it been confirmed that BB is for sure visiting? I know that he said in an interview that he was, but I have never seen a link talking about it. Thanks.

On Bryce's, yes probably. His Dad's on the other hand, seems first and foremost by the comments he made. That's my opinion though.

No, speculation at this point until he shows up on campus.

I guess it'd be better to have a guy like Hubbs calling their home at 9 o'clock on Sunday night, wanting a quick interview on how the official visit went so he can update his pay site...right? That'd make him a far more caring parent.

It seems that his dad is invested in the site with or without Bryce. His comments were as the webmaster, not the father of a prospect. This whole Potential Players thing does not start and end with Bryce Brown.

It certainly does NOT indicate that he is not a caring parent. You pass judgment too quickly based on very limited evidence.

Well if he comes here, Bryce will have to cut the cord. His leaches will have to wait until he gets to the league to cash in anymore.

Just wondering though, where does he draw the line between a webmaster and dad??

You certainly have a right to that opinion. I question how you came up with it though because I have examined the same evidence and not come to that conclusion at all.

Sure. Then he could go and update his son's site after Hubb's does so he can make some more revenue off of advertising.

When it negatively impacts the life of his son, which it has not nor does it appear to be a threat to at any point in the future. Just like any other parent would. That's my guess.

Staying out of my kid's decision on where to go to college is the best decision I can make for my child. I should have, up until that point, given them the best chance to choose correctly as long as I believed I did all I could to guide them in the right direction. If my daughter becomes a basketball phenom, I am biased as to who I would want her to play for, but it's her decision ultimately. Kids have to make their own decisions at some point in time, and this one is one that they should make.

I promise you, as a caring parent I will be VERY involved with my kid's decision on what college to attend. Parents will approach that decision differently, but it doesn't speak to a failure in raising a child to advise them or to be involved closely on a college decision when you are talking about a 16 or 17 year-old kid.

Dixon did not get his exposure until Sr year. Games on the west coast are late in the day and 11 out of their 12games will be meanless. How much exposure did the team that upset USC get this year? About 30 minutes of fame. You play a late Saturaday game and it is reported on the East Coast on Sunday admist the NFL Previews which is very minimal at the most. So no you do not get the exposure except in tidbits on Sat and virtually none on Sunday because of the NFL.

Dixon got exposure as soon as he started performing at a high level. Most believe that Chip Kelly was behind turning his career around for his senior season. The Beavers (and running back Rodgers) got a lot of coverage after upsetting USC. All the way up to the game where they got smoked by the Ducks. :)

I think the perception of exposure depends on where you're at. At least, it appears that the major networks believe a lot of people want to watch the Ducks these days:

Highlighting the agreement, which is part of the conference's completed 2009 football schedule released by the Pac-10, will be a national showcase of the 113th Oregon-Oregon State game on Thursday, Dec. 3, which will be televised as part of ESPN's national Thursday night package. Game time for the contest in Eugene will be 6 p.m. (PST).

Additional games that Oregon has received television commitments from through ESPN/ABC include the Sept. 5 season opener at Boise State, either the Sept. 12 or Sept. 19 home games against Purdue or Utah, respectively, the Sept. 26 contest vs. California and the Oct. 31 Autzen Stadium game against USC. The game at Boise State will be televised on either ESPN or ESPN2, while the remaining three Saturday con-tests would be televised on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2.

The Thursday night Civil War will mark Oregon's first Thursday night home game since the Ducks hosted Arizona to start the 1997 season.

It is expected to result in one of the most watched Oregon-Oregon State games ever as ESPN's Thursday night games have traditionally ranked among the network's highest-ranked time slots reaching in excess of six million viewers nation-ally.
