Ducks flip QB Sagapolutele

I would have gone to Cal if I were him. Cal degree. Starting position open.

He’s gonna have to sit at Oregon. A couple Of Duck QBs are transferring next two years.

Java, having problems with the reply and like buttons. Visable only half the time I log in, other times it’s just a blinking box.

LADuck- the only fans that seem to like NIL are the Ducks. Get out and talk to some non Duck fans if you don’t believe me…. But hey, as long as you’re happy 😂. You’re wasting your time trying to convince others NIiL has improved the game. But I get it, you’ll just keep focusing on USC and how their fans are the only ones who hate it. FALSE…. And USC looks to be very competitive now in NIL. It still sucks. The best days of CFB are gone, period. Doesn’t matter what USC does going forward.

Where did I ever say "NIL has improved the game"?

I only said that the game has improved due to continual advances, specifically in terms of how to determine a champion. NIL is just a side effect of the changing times of those who feel sharing the ever-increasing revenue with the kids brought about by the increase in popularity, playoffs and other factors for the sport is more equitable these days rather than simply giving them books & board & schooling and calling it good.

Look, I get it that USC fans whistfully wish for the '60s/'70s/'80s when you ruled college football with unlimited scholarships, more localized recruiting and no social media to help advance the popularity of other less fortunate football programs. I'd probably feel the same way if I were a Trojan. But times change, for better or for worse. But they do change. Adapt and conquer or go the way of Long Beach State football. I do think it's a positive on some level that kids are being compensated, but right now it's the wildwest with such things like NIL, and that's not good at all for the sport.

I've said it for months/years on here, even though Oregon is among those benefiting most from NIL right now, it's not sustainable, and shouldn't be sustainable. There has got to be a better way.

We're not going back to leather helmets. But we also shouldn't outright ban the sport for being too dangerous. There are middle grounds I feel we all can agree on in time. Both in terms of safely and in terms of NIL/compensating players.

But, yeah, if you want to continue to put words in my mouth, it's all good. You're still one of my fav posters on here. 🙂
