Ho Lee Shit

Nice personal insults and Ad Hominem attacks. You are on a website called Hardcore Husky getting upset because a non-Oregon fan is calling a duck a duck.
Here is a link for your condition:

▷ Insulting a person only shows immaturity and a lack of arguments
And no, UW does not have the $20 to $30 million that Phil Knight is pumping into Oregon every year…they aren't even close. At best they have half of that. At least one report has said that Phil Knight personally approves of each NIL deal because it's all his money. The dude is trying to buy a National Championship before he kicks the can. It doesn't get faker than that.

Have to agree with the duck on this one. If UW wanted to be a major player, it could. And that is college football today. You are either a major player ($$$) or you aren't.
UW has chosen its path.

In its present form, NIL can't be funded by Universities. Phil Knight is putting $25-$30 million into NIL and every other school except for maybe Ohio State does not have a mega booster like that. Do you think it it's a coincidence that portal guys and recruits are flocking to Eugene like never before for any other reason?

It's a lot of shit now you need to pay for high school recruits, portal recruits, paying the TBS sites to bump your guys, keeping your own guys from portalling, ~$10 million a year for a head coach, then a shit load for good assistants, a bunch of analysts, sponsored content like PFF hyping your players, boosting your social media, jerseys and swag and shit, facilities, creative to create your own good content and social media.
In the talent acquisition you also need to be able to scout well. There's programs like A&M and USC and now apparently UW basketball, who spend money but it doesnt' work out as well as they hope.

I'm hoping the House legislation / settlement or whatever they call it brings some stability to things.
Regarding UW basketball, it's their first year after the Jen Cohen hired Mike Hopkins debacle so we'll see what happens in 2025-2026.
