Local businesses, organizations weigh financial effects of Pac-12 decision
The decision was made Tuesday afternoon.

9 news.

This will have a big effect on college towns who rely on the influx of business each year... like corvallis and eugene.

Kezi 9 news reporter kennedy dendy is live outside of autzen stadium after speaking with local business owners about the impact kennedy?

Renee, a fall without football.

That has now become a reality, as many looked forward to filling one of the 54,000 seats right here at autzen stadium.

Or even watching the excitement take place at their favorite bar or restaurant.

But now, business owners are speaking out about what this means for them.

Sy new york pizza on alder brings quite the crowd each game day.

And the owner tells me that football season is their biggest time of the year, so this decision is going to have a big effect on his business.

He says that on a typical game day, the shop brings in*double their normal weekend sales.

But while it all so disappointing...he says theyre going to be okay.

18:00 sot "every year during football we have alumni who come back in town and often that includes trips to their favorite places so i get a lot of people who went to school here 30 or even 40 years ago who come in to get pizza, so its going to be a little bit disappointing to miss that if there is no season."

He says theye been able to keep up with business through their delivery service but seeing the excited game day faces each week is something that will be missed.

Of course... it's not just uo and the ducks.

Corvallis is in the same shape... and they'll be taking a hit too.

Now --- coming up in the six o clock hour, hear how this will impact the bottom line of non profits ---- including our local boy scouts of america.
