He is not a fan of the NIL program and thinks it will be the beginning of he end of college football as we know it.  However thinks the Ducks will do better than most schools involved with the NIL, due to the fact that Knight has spent so much of his life involved with major athletes in many different sports, and has an excellent reputation.  He thought the recent Tennessee involvement with the high school QB was not only ridiculous,  but stupid.  Thinks major college football will shrink down to around 30 teams +,or -.

 

His opinion is that a significant number of players aren't going to have the opportunity they now have to play, and also that women's, sports will suffer as so many schools will not have the monies coming from football to support women's sports as well as mens minor sports.

Those observations are ones we have seen often in this forum already, and my feeling is, "it is not over until it is over."

 

Let's enjoy Oregon Sports for the next three years, as NIL/Portal will not impact things for the Ducks in that time, and see how it shakes out.

He did not say that he felt it was over for the Ducks, on the contrary he feels that Oregon will do well in the probable in what he thinks the new field of play will shake out to be, but thinks that the number of programs involved in the future will shrink dramatically and not for the benefit of the sport.
