Just call it Nike U

Nike U.

Can't hurt to have a few hundred million dollars to buy players.

I don't think it was a secret and at this point the NCAA is circling the drain investigating NIL infractions. That genie is out of the bottle.
I figure in a few years the SEC will pull in a few more schools and form a conference away from the NCAA and basically be a semi pro league but still tied to colleges some how.

Grasping at anything they can hold on to.

Literally nothing they can do now.

The top donors will sit atop college football everyone else can fight over table scraps

Yep.

The NIL is great for everyone.

IMG Conference?

IMG Conference?

It would be called that but I wouldn't put it past them being at the top of the food chain for sure

CFB as we know it is in a death spiral.

After a brief reading of NILs on the NCAA website, my understanding of how a university gets in trouble with NILs is dependent on if they used NILs as an incentive to get a recruit to enroll at their university. Given that Oregon has very strong ties with Nike, it can be assumed by a recruit that they may have an opportunity to have a NILs arrangement with a Nike related sponsor. This assumption could lead to questions pertaining to recruiting. That's the problem as I see it based on a short read.

Typical NCAA fashion. They drive by, throw a rule out. Then try to come back later and define how it should be be applied.

 

[J C Higgins]

IMO it's going to be almost impossible for the NCAA or any governing body to distinguish one from the other.
As many of us have said for months those schools with wealthy supporters will dominate recruiting. Texas, Oregon and TAM will be among the top 10 and may be the top 3 year after year.
