Outrage! The U didn't make the list?

🤔 Hmm, EA sports must not have done their homework in their research.  Maybe they should ask schools like Ohio State how was it playing in Autzen last season.

 

Go Ducks!

At least the coaches listed ahead of Lanning have semi-identifiable avatars... This caricature looks more like Seth Green from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"!

Oregon Ducks named among top spenders in NIL world in 2025 per latest poll

Oregon Ducks named among top spenders in NIL world in 2025 per latest poll

No specifics were given, but the general belief is that the Ducks are able to spend more than their share in securing some pivotal transfers.

"Similar to some of the other stalwarts of the NIL Era, Oregon has not had any problems spending top dollar on players. That has been backed by Nike co-founder Phil Knight, who started the Ducks’ NIL collective and has committed to seeing his alma mater win a national title," On3 writer Pete Nakos said. "Oregon restructured its offensive line with Nevada’s Isaiah World and USC’s Emmanuel Pregnon, both highly valued players."

Report: Fox, Big Ten want Dave Portnoy to be conference fanboy to counter ESPN, SEC

Portnoy will join Urban MeyerMatt LeinartBrady QuinnMark Ingram, Chris “The Bear” Fallica and Rob Stone on Big Noon Kickoff. While each of Portnoy’s co-hosts are widely regarded as respected voices in college football, they don’t have the same influence as a pundit like Paul Finebaum.

Moreover, they don’t have the personality of someone such as ESPN College GameDay‘s Pat McAfee. According to Ourand, Fox hopes Portnoy can bring both of these desired traits to Big Noon Kickoff, and reel in massive ratings as a result.
