GeotechDuck No. 2 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Hmmmm. What is happening right now with recruiting and the portal? Are we just missing on every top recruit and every guy that has solid experience at the Power 5 level? I’m not trying to be negative, but on paper this offseason looks like a disaster so far. Hopefully this means Bittle is back for sure. Edited April 12 by GeotechDuck 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave23 No. 3 Share Posted April 12 I wonder if Dana is just too old school for the modern college kid? Personally, I love him and think he's a great coach, but it has seemed that he has trouble getting buy-in from some players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB89 No. 4 Share Posted April 12 I do not believe Dana is too old school. My guess is we do not have enough NIL money to attract the top talent in the portal. I think the same thing is happening with our WBB program. It is simply a bidding war now. If you do not spend a ton of money you are not going to get the top transfer players. Also Oregon is probably spending the majority of their NIL money to keep the players currently on our roster 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWW.SPORTSCASTING.COM If the House Settlement is approved which is likely, and $20.5 M is the cap on direct payments in Year 1, a B1G full share of media proceeds will make a difference (DUH .) Even with a full share, B1G money-maker football will always get the bigger piece of the Ducks pie in direct payments and in brokered NIL deals. It will be very interesting post-House, to see the percentages a Purdue and Maryland are allocating to football compared to basketball. In the case of a UConn and other Big East teams, basketball players will receive the bulk of the money. Many Big East teams do not play varsity football, same with Gonzaga. If Division Street and other boosters are not that B1G on CBB, it will be difficult for Oregon to compete for top players regardless of the age of the head coach. I think many B12 CBB players will be paid the same or more than football players. In the SEC there seems to be plenty of money for football, basketball, baseball, track + field, and softball. There are Fanatics everywhere, but Zealots dwell in the SEC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what UW thinks, Uncle Phil's $$$ hasn't delivered a Natty to the football team, and 2017 will probably be as close as the basketball team gets to another Final Four. Money can't buy a championship, but you don't have a chance with nickels and dimes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money can't buy a championship, but you don't have a chance with nickels and dimes. Great comment. Everyone talks about a Players Union negotiating with 'Management' and resolving NIL and transfer issues before going to Congress for Congressional relief from continuing litigation. What's in it for the athletes who today hold every card in the deck? Why would any athlete, male or female, want to give up their ability to transfer and test the market to see what they can score in NIL deals? With a more sympathetic administration in office, now is the time to push Congress for relief from litigation, including antitrust litigation arising from a Super Conference in football and basketball. With a Super Conference in place, players who bargain too hard and won't agree to restraints on transfer will be told to peddle their papers in the minor leagues. Bet the House that further consolidation and football, and likely men's basketball, is coming whether or not the House so-called Settlement is approved.

30Duck Moderator No. 11 Share Posted Friday at 10:21 PM North Carolina is interesting, they are a basketball blueblood, I don't think that hiring Belichick is going to offset the money the football team will offer compared to what other schools will offer to a coveted player. I really don't understand UNC's or Belichick's plan here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
