Name and Likeness Question

[Utebeam]

Do you think that schools like Oregon will have more of a leg up in recruiting due to Alumni(read Nike) ability contract with players for product endorsements outside of the university to attract even more talent?

[dystopiamembrane]

Yes.

[dystopiamembrane]

No.

[UtTroutHunter]

Oregon should make it a thing where the incoming QB recruit stars in a marketing campaign introducing a new line of product or apparel for Nike every year. This way all the top QB recruits would know they have a six figure payday waiting for them if they commit to Oregon.

That’s what scares me about this. Are the Huntsman’s going to sponsor key players? Which car dealership is going to step up?

[Central Coast Ute]

Even if they do, they can’t compete with Nike.

[UteBacker]

Let the games begin

[Utebeam]

I’m honestly afraid of what this will do to college sports. I don’t see how the true essence of the sport survives this.

[UteBacker]

Me too and me either.

[Utesbyfive]

It won’t survive. Enjoy the next few seasons because it’s going to morph into something unrecognizable in 5 years, mark my words.

[EagleMountainUte]

Sure the Nike Chinese slave camps can get it done every year.

[Central Coast Ute]

Hard to compete with free, forced labor from abroad.
