The nike and Oregon thing is blown out of proportion. Nike won't risk losing business with all the other teams to support Oregon. Phil Knight is a different story.
Correct. NIKE isnt spending money because they don't want to tick a revenue source off. But Phil Knight is a product of Oregon and spent 250k for a 10 min drawing of Kaevon Thebedeaux done by famed show designer Tinker Hatfield. That's always been my fear re: NIL. Bama has tons of passion but how many billionaires. a single Phil Knight @30+ billion can supersede all of Bama's resources. Now the flip side of that is...and it didn't work at ATM ...are kids that go solely for money the best way to build a team

Guys I have a few connections to Lanning and his family. This decision is not going to come down to “resources” Bama has plenty. At the end of the day if Lanning could pick any job in the country it would be Georgia or Alabama. He wants to be in the south, closer to his friends and family. This does not mean he is guaranteed to take the job, buyout, following Saban etc. are all factors but the ones pointing out Oregon’s resources are missing the boat. They have always had those resources and every coach they have had besides one has left it.
