I wonder who will be the first college team to sell out to a Persian Gulf oil company

I got money on Florida State.

wish it were us. We would finally get our dome, probably a few skyscrapers for athlete housing all with balcony infinity pools. All players drive Lamborghinis. Literally never lose another game again.

So is Nike

One could argue that Nike sees Oregon as a flagship in their marketing strategy.

Didn't Deion go try to meet with the Saudis?

I’d be ok if Iran and Saudi Arabia donated and Nebraska put a houthis logo on the shoulder if it bought a couple 5* pass rushers

Deion is a terrorist

But yes, it does sound like he did lol. I must have missed that. I made that comment tongue and cheek... crazy times

Berkshire owns enough companies they could give every player a "legit" deal

Buffet could probably fund all of Nebraska's NIL for the next 10 years with the loose change from his 1950s couch (davenport for the real midwesterners).

Colorado already tried.

So is Nike

That is completely different. It is directly related to the marketing of their product.

I’m waiting for the inevitable PE fuckery in NIL

Additionally a lot of their money comes directly from Phil Knight, not as much from Nike the company

I believe most people were wondering about money from Warren Buffet, not Berkshire Hathaway.

Prime already tried to beg money from Saudis lol.

Spoiler alert, they don't even know the rules of football so it was a hard pass.

Ex-Colorado staffer pitched Saudi Arabia to be a $10M NIL pipeline

A former Colorado staffer sought $10 million in name, image and likeness funding from Saudi Arabia in exchange for promoting tourism.

Don’t hold your breath. Buffet is free to send his money how he chooses. He’s known to be very conservative in his spending.

He has given his own children every opportunity to be successful in their own right but is not leaving money to them after he dies.
