Oregon Ducks 2026 (3 Viewers)

[wizenheimer]

Reports are that the Ducks will have the highest paid NIL roster in college football next season.

I don't believe it for a second....chances are about 100% those "reports" are total bullshit. The 3 or 4 people that actually know the numbers aren't talking to all these asshats with a blog. Mark Cuban has injected millions into Indiana NIL. Cody Campbell has poured millions into Texas Tech NIL. Texas has several billionaire donors supercharging their NIL. John Ruiz has been a huge NIL donor for Miami although he has some major legal issues. LSU has Todd Graves and other wealthy donors paving their NIL highway. USC has convinced several millionaire/billionaire alumni to start pumping in money

it's been the go-to excuse for all non-Oregon fans to reach for: it's all Phil Knight. But I've heard from a couple of connected people that PK is a reluctant NIL participant. He still believes his money invested in facilities and infrastructure generates a lot more leverage than NIL

if the Ducks had unlimited NIL funds, they would not have had 26 players enter the transfer portal

now, for Oregon the portal activity may be at an early stage. They may make up for some of the front-7 losses with incoming transfers over the next few weeks

Believe what you want. You'll be eating crow when it becomes more public in a few weeks/month.

Connected people. Sure, the same blogger asshats you just bashed.

It's been the same go to excuse for Duck fans. "Phil Knight doesnt help us win!" blah blah blah

You're hilarious. How many of those players that bailed are real impact stud players?
Are you not aware that a good chunk of the players that enter the portal do so because the current coach/team tells them its in their best interest to do so? Basically the coach/team doesnt want them and wants to replace their roster spot with someone else.
The Ducks will easily replace them with guys/studs they want.

Do you dispute the reports that the Ducks had the highest NIL $ average per player than any other school?
If you deny the fact that the Ducks are in the top 5 in NIL $ then you have your head in the sand. And as I said it's estimated that they will be #1 this next season. I'm not saying it to fault them or talk shit. It's what you have to do in todays college football landscape to be a top team.
I'm jealous. I'd be ecstatic if the Beavs had that kind of $ to build a roster. I'd be doing cartwheels if we had half the Ducks NIL $.

Carl Williams CB from Baylor
Koi Perich S from Minny
Iverson Hooks WR from UAB
Michael Bennet OT from Yale
Andrew Oleh TE from Penn St
Dylan Raiola QB from Nebraska
Bailey Ettridge Punter from Nevada
RJ Todd Long-Snapper from WMU
Keaton Emmitt K from Nevada

Raiola, Perich, and Ollesh are all top-50 portal signees, so probably paid a premium NIL. The rest are depth pieces, likely from the bargain bin

the Ducks don't have as deep of NIL pockets as many assume

Deep enough, if they can keep the returners they are, especially Stuart, 4 d lineman, Moore, & Dakorian Moore.

that is based upon nothing...you realize that don't you?

none of these collective release their numbers....none of them. All that is out there is pure speculation, and most of that is wild speculation

you goddamn right I dispute it. When actual, verifiable numbers are released, then I'll pay attention
