Starting to see a trend here

It strikes me as a similar strategy to "limited release" products. They're trying to seperate themselves from the masses by self imposing a restriction and shifting attention to how in demand they are.

I imagine they're still spending lots but I don't think any college fans thinks the path to success is simply bidding the most for players. We've already seen how that works with teams like aTm and individuals like the QB we? just beat.

OSU is smart to not make the money the focus. Recruit them as players always have been and then use NIL as the final push, instead of it being the entire reason they want to go there.

There is actually a lot of truth to this

If you start throwing bags around at certain high schoolers, some are going to have animosity that they aren't earning as much. aTm had a broken locker room do to this, so I've heard

looks like oregon didn’t pay attention

You guys think Oregon has a lot more NIL money than Oregon actually has.

How many pwestons contributing $5/month to ducks rising do you think there actually are?

To be fair, $5/mo is a lot if you are pumping gas for a living.

They are among the leaders in average NIL per player. The money is flowing there too.

This is not just a tOSU talking point.

You will likely see the BIG, as it transitions into one of two super conferences, taking the rhetorical "high road" vis-a-vis the NIL debate in order to frame itself as the less corrupt, more wholesome, alternative to the SEC.

The Cold War between BIG and SEC will see the BIG (with its more prestigious academic inventory [including the UW someday?]) acting as the classy conference in stark opposition to their greased-pig-wrestling rivals in Dixie.

I'm hearing Petersen will be the next B10 commish

Excellent post ... and, fortunately, no need for that question mark (Griswold faggy wink)
