I think you hit the proverbial NAIL on the head! Why spend millions on unproven talent? The transfer portal has given athletes the chance to be truly rewarded for their skills, and the freedom to go where that is possible. Thank you David for today's article! It is "right on".

Big Hitter, The Lama, and The Butler.

Never heard of this guy before. Does he play baseball? Is he a spelling bee champion? Maybe a pre law student wanting to talk NIL deals? Those are the things Vanderbilt people can spout off about. Great academics. Football? Not so much.

Oregon is getting beat on the recruiting trail pretty badly this off-season. It’s been ages since the program has had a major win. It appears that Dan Lanning and Oregon’s main NIL cooperative, Division Street, may be changing their strategy, with a greater focus on spending NIL dollars in the transfer portal rather than on high school recruits.

That'll work!

Calling the Beavers, "One of Oregon's biggest rivals". In their dreams.

A Nits's flimsy excuse for a bogus 2025 OOC schedule and a take on the B1G's biggest OOC games. Ranking the Big Ten's top 10 nonconference games in 2025 NITTANYLIONSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Ranking the top 10 Big Ten nonconference games of the 2025 season. The Cincinnati-Nebraska game is being played in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, not in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Ducks-Cowboys game made the list, which speaks volumes about the B1G's weak OOC slates. Utah at UCLA deserves more B1G love. UCLA at UNLV could have been on the list. In addition to SC, Purdue plays at Notre Dame in 2025. I would have had Michigan at Oklahoma as the second-ranked game on this list. The Northwestern at Tulane opener and the BC at Michigan State game could go either way.

Thank you OregonReigns! Terrific research and interesting facts about Oregon players.

My Duck-Buddies...the above article is a "pay" article where they paid my ransom to get a lame article published here. I used to publish a bunch of gambling articles, but not any longer as I did not like the vibe. My silly inserts are one thing, but a flat-out gambling article was a bit much. But once in a while--between the AI, their writer, and my editing--an informative article about Oregon is published when they pay my high price. (Trying to pay for the site migration in a few weeks) I actually learned some things from the article, and it did not drone on...so I give them that. I've got some cool pictures in the article, and it reminds me of how blessed I've been to have such high quality photographers available for FishDuck over the years.

Good for him! Most likely get more playing time. Once he's developed, he can always transfer back (nil) to his real "home". Glad he stayed in-state. Easier for mom & dad to watch. He can be a leader in the Pac (St)eight.

Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have extended a scholarship offer to Xavier Berry, a 6-foot-6, 260-pound offensive lineman from Puyallup, Wash. Berry's weight might be considered light for a college offensive lineman, but it's understanding for his age, as he will be entering the eighth grade in the fall. 247Sports shows that Berry has scholarship offers from Washington, Sacramento State, San Jose State, and the Ducks. Remember when Kiffin at USC offered a couple 8th graders? 8th-grade wide receiver accepts USC scholarship offer - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Wide receiver Nathan Tilford, who's yet to start high school, has accepted a scholarship offer from USC. He's not the youngest player Lane Kiffin has ever offered.

In the case of Bralen Kasper, his big brother is on the team, Josiah Molden is the son of former Duck, Alex Molden, his other son, Elija Molden, went to the Huskies. Chase Cota, son of Chad Cota originally played at UCLA, before transferring to Oregon. Akili Smith's son is a Duck. Are these offers to Kasper and Molden any more than symbolic?

Doesn't "Vandy Quarterback" erase all credibility from the start?

Oregon set up for recruiting surge and who will be this year's statistical leaders

of course the organization I referred to was tha NCAA, not the NCC if that even exists

Bucs WR compares Bucky Irving to MVP finalist, Super Bowl champion WWW.YARDBARKER.COM During a recent chat with Ira Kaufman of JoeBucsFan.com, Sterling Shepard offered high praise for Tampa Bay's current RB1.

I can't see much more happening than a LOT of litigation and possibly the end of the NCAA with a football group being created with no other sports included. It may become a 4 to 6 or 8 regional split up of teams. Oregon would be back on the West Coast or Northwest region and probably fine with a split of the annual revenue this set-up would gather in. The NCAA could probably not survive without football money so it will be interesting to see what happens to all the other sports, basketball probably leading the financial contribution to whatever develops. Would the universities be forced somehow to put money from football back into the other sports? Could they if there was no functional NCC or they just plain were no longer part of it? Would so many scholarships for many just disappear? Would other 'organizations' develop for baseball, basketball (men and women or just men?)? It's really a lot to take in but I think this decision may kill college sports rather than 'help' them. Even if none of this happens, Title IX is going to be a big firecracker in the toilet and probably reformatted in the end. About the only thing I am sure of is that football will survive and thrive. It's too big to kill.

Throwing shade at the BIG means nothing if your conference refuses to play against them as part of their OOC schedule. Vanderbilt is only part of the SEC because of location, and their QB is oblivious that they have been a whipping post for the conference for most of their football existence.
