Ducks beat Gundys OK State 69-3 after his comments on their NIL and resources. From article:

“They have the whole package. It’s well-funded. I’ll put it that way,” Parker said.

This is not the first time an opponent called out Oregon’s NIL usage, as former Oklahoma State Cowboys coach Mike Gundy also made comments about the Ducks. Gundy called out Oregon’s spending and resources, to which Ducks coach Dan Lanning and the team responded in a big way on the field.

Phil Knight is worth $40 billion dollars and his sole hobby is funding Oregon sports. Some people do woodworking or play golf, Phil Knight pays NIL for fun. He could set their NIL salary for football at $100 million and that would only be 0.25% of his net worth.

That's point two five percent. Not two point five percent.

And before any mouth breathers start telling me the cap is $20 million, schools are already skirting around it by setting things up like individual corporate sponsorships which aren't payments directly from programs. There are tons of articles out there about how programs (including Oregon) get around the NIL cap. If any of you think Ohio State football players as a group are only being paid $20 million you're either an idiot, or ignorant.

Can only afford to pay Julian Sayin $3 million dollars out of your cap total? Get him a $1 million dollar deal with Gatorade and a $500k deal with EA Sports and a $2 million dollar deal with Draft Kings. Throw a little Arby's and Verizon in there for good measure. See how that works? There are schools that have set up in-house agencies that go out and look for deals for athletes. Googlize it.

Again, if anyone thinks Phil Knight doesn't have people out there working on that shit already, I don't know what to tell you.

There should be some cap on it IMO.
