Oregon is setting up a private NIL company as an extension of the athletic department, while Jen is still figuring out what the acronym means.

All the other replies including Twattenberg’s smiling lesbo softball player mug on a garbage truck are funny but the Duck makes a valid and scary point that is more likely true than not.

I’m getting this vibe that you fellas think UW is going to bungle this NIL thing.

One final attempt to buy a Natty he dies. Gonna throw a fat party for him when he croaks. RIP ya old bitch.

One of my favorite doog memories is the rout at Autzen 42-14 where I met yella and Stan

Phil's luxury box opened that day and Dan Fouts broadcast from it

42 to 14 DAWGS

Watched it on the VCR lol when I got home

No natty Phil

They aren't going to bungle it b/c there will be nothing to bungle.

Just like the lack of attendance at games where UW AD can't give away free tickets and Secondary Ticket Markets are selling tickets cheaper than a movie ticket or meal at Olive Garden, UW does not have the Alumni/Small Business Owners really interested in paying a players to market a product or service b/c the ROI isn't there.

Again as 1 to numbers said, you don't get into NIL if your a company b/c you think it helps grow or expand your business. You participate b/c you want to have access and to help the program.

Phil Knight is doing this b/c he has enough loose change in his couch (in the millions should he choose) to give to UO whereby they can take that meaningful amount and use it as a recruiting tool to help sway top end recruits to head to Eugene.

Y’all keep talking about bag drops like this is 1982 in Dallas Texas.

The real story is that Phil Knight has basically taken professional representation of athletes and made it core curriculum at UO within the college of business with backing from Nike, focusing on NIL, which is obviously the biggest game changer in all of amateur athletics since Title 9.

This isn’t about 10k payoffs and rental homes for mom or a job for dad at the local Dodge dealership, guys.
