Pac” violated the rights of its five
year deal with the University, a
contract KVAL held until the 1999
2000 school year.
The proposed policy would have
limited broadcasters to 20 seconds
of game highlights and 20 seconds
of interviews during the 48 hours
after any Duck game. Special shows
outside a daily sports report during
news broadcasts would have re
ceived 30 seconds of each.
“The last thing we want to
do is deprive our fans of all
the Oregon Ducks they
want.”
Bill Moos
athletic director,
University of Oregon
Tim Roberts, the regional manag
er for ESPN, said policy implemen
tation became difficult because the
University had to make a broad pol
icy for all television media, not one
that restricted only KVAL or only
“Inside the PAC.”
Roberts said if ESPN believes
KVAL’s show continues to step over
the boundaries of ESPN’s contract
with the University during this
fall’s football season, the sports net
work will take the issue to KVAL,
not the school.

Athletic Director Bill Moos, standing in the Hall of Champions at the Casanova Center,
explains that there will be no changes to the broadcast media policy.
KVAL General Manager Dave
Weinkauf said in a released state
ment that Moos’ decision correctly
protects the station’s First Amend
ment rights, and KVAL will allow
ESPN and KEZI to gain additional
access to coaches and players for
their highlights.
“KVAL recognizes the need to
grant that accommodation to the
rights holder,” Weinkauf said in a re
leased statement. “That’s what we re
ceived in the nine years we worked
with [the University of] Oregon, and
that’s certainly what the current
rights holder should receive.”
Moos said that like all elements
of the sports program, the athletic
directors will evaluate media ac
cess at the end of the year, but the
open policy will stand for the rest
of this school year.
“This is the direction we’re going
for this year,” he said. “The last thing
we want to do is deprive our fans of
all the Oregon Ducks they want.”
Sacred Heart

building a hospital downtown
and said the city needs more time
to discuss options.
“I know we can’t decide where
the hospital will be, but it’s our
duty to see it is placed in the right
place for the city,” Taylor said.
Taylor said she would rather see
Sacred Heart expand to a site at
Willamette Street and 12th Av
enue, which she said would be
composed of hospital-owned prop
erty and lots the city would pur
chase from current owners.
Though PeaceHealth soundly
rejected this plan in late July,
when it announced it would not
build downtown and would fo
cus only on the North Eugene
site, Taylor said “it’s too soon to
give up.”
Kelly also supported the
Willamette site and opposed con
struction in North Eugene.
“It seems clear to me that the
largest employer in the county and
the largest cause of traffic at the
edge of the city would be bad for
taxpayers,” he said.
The council’s five other mem
bers indicated they had given up
on keeping the hospital down
town.
While councilors debated scrap
ping the proposed land use
change, Councilor Pat Farr said
discussions to keep the hospital
expansion downtown were futile.
“Are we just trying to fool our
selves?” he said. “They’re not go
ing to build downtown ... The
Crescent site is a good site.”
Councilor Nancy Nathanson
said keeping the hospital down
town might no longer be an op
tion.
“The case didn’t need to be
made to us; over the past few
months the case should have been
made to PeaceHealth,” she said.
