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.

Also woooooooood.
Also also weird that they have 22 year olds portray 16 year olds and old dudes have to debate if it’s creepy or not
Also also also I wonder if this is what started the weird step sibling porn category. -

Who needs NIL when you have THE GREATEST SETTING!

Yep, Oregon, via Nike, has kids already getting signed up by McDonalds and shit meanwhile back at the Pea Patch Jen is setting up exploratory committees to see if McNel Septic and Sewer (serving Seattle since 1971!) might be interested in talking about how they could throw 30-40 bucks at a kid to put their face on the side of the shitter truck one day.DerekJohnson said:

Its wouldn't take the best sales
manperson in the world to sell some sort of partnership between Amazon, Microsoft, and the UW athletic department...
If only anyone in the UW AD actually cared. -

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 -
I'm sure people at the UW AD do care, whether they're competent enough for that to matter or not. The problem is that Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, insert-multinational-Seattle-based-megacorp-here don't give a fuuuuuuuck about local college football. They care about their shareholders and bottom line.Houhusky said:Its wouldn't take the best sales

Oregon is lucky because not only is a sports-focused megacorp semi-local, but its founder and richest/most influential stakeholder happens to be an Oregon grad who sees his alma mater winning a natty as a worthwhile vanity project. It takes all of those ingredients. It's not that they have Nike, it's that they have Knight. There is no Phil Knight at Microsoft. There is no Phil Knight at Amazon. There is no (longer a) national brand like Alabama or Ohio State that sells itself to some national marketing firm for paying the new quarterback Jack Hasntthrownapass a million bucks.
UW's path to even marginal NIL success is, unfortunately, exactly what they're trying: getting a relatively large number of small to medium sized businesses owned/run by big time Husky fans to buy in.

Can someone educate me on whether or not NIL has kind of been a slight thud so far or is it just kind of now a public money laundering scheme for bags? For the most part to me, a lot of college athletes have most of their value coming out of high school for programs but aren't really valuable for NIL yet? By the time most are, they are gone to the pros and you have a lot of flameout in college sports. Like did anyone invest in DJ Uiagalelei? How's that going to go when he gets benched? What about making Thibodeaux the world's most bizarro rinky dink influencer? Does having promotion from some dude who has 75k followers on Instagram resonate for anything when almost any above average girl can put her ass on there and get to 100k?
Still seems to me like the rare valuable NIL opportunities will be the generational guys like Manziel/Tebow who are back with a full season be promoted and those guys are beyond rare. -
It's definitely much more risky. But imagine a company being able to buy Peyton Manning's services as a freshman at Tennessee for a 4 year $2 million dollar deal, when his NIL market value before the draft would probably be $10-$15m annually.WoolleyDoog said:Can someone educate me on whether or not NIL has kind of been a slight thud so far or is it just kind of now a public money laundering scheme for bags?

I still say this misses the point completely, in that you're making the mistake of taking NIL at face value. Yes, there are a few dumbass companies that are trying to be early NIL "investors," but this will flame out when you prove to be correct with your skepticism as to the value that NIL returns to the investors. The real point of NIL is for absolutely nothing to change except bringing dirty recruiting/pay-for-play money aboveboard and making it a write-off.WoolleyDoog said:Can someone educate me on whether or not NIL has kind of been a slight thud so far or is it just kind of now a public money laundering scheme for bags?

The point isn't what "famous" players can bring to the companies/rich investors/etc. The point is that money brings highly rated players to the schools that these investors support. Once they're there, the player flaming out is free: no more cash; hit the portal.
Once again, this is where Oregon is lucky with Nike and Knight. As Nike's flagship apparel deal program, you could say that Knight and Nike's motives are aligned: Phil Knight doesn't give a fuck about some monetary return on his investment, he just wants his vanity project to succeed on the field, so throwing away money to attract 5-star players is great. In Nike's case (as opposed to, say, Microsoft or Amazon), they also benefit from Oregon succeeding on the field, as it means more media exposure and therefore their brand and billion uniform combos being "cool."
Nike gets fuck all from these kids posting on Instagram wearing their shoes, and they/Knight know this. They do get a something from Oregon--and therefore Nike--being all over ESPN because they're in the playoffs, so anything to get those highly rated recruits in.
In short, once the player signs on the dotted line with the school, it's Mission Accomplished for NIL. There's really nothing more to it than that. UW needs rich fans willing to buy players (now legally) if they wish to compete moving forward. It's as simple as that. -
Maybe, I think that some of these Seattle megacorps would love to have flatbeds full of college athletes they can parade around and a financial (and political) partnership with UW and it's athletes inside Seattle might be more effective, cheaper, and controllable than trying to navigate and pay off the rotating buffet of political charlatans and dawgmatic (SWIDT) ideologues that currently run the city/state.1to392831weretaken said:

Nike has a more direct sports line, but Nike also has to get away with slave labor so their program has a few more rails to grease. -
If I'm dropping a few mil into some dumbfuck high schooler I'm also dropping enough money to the coach/program to ensure "my guy" is starting and being showcased.
