Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy vs. Oregon's Dan Lanning

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy wasn't afraid to voice his opinion on Oregon's Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) upper hand on his radio show earlier this week. He stated that the Pacific Northwest program is lucky to have someone like Nike co-founder Phil Knight reinforcing the team and its players.

"Obviously, Phil Knight, the CEO and owner of Nike, is supporting them in a big way. They've made a big investment in the last 10 to 15 years or so... over the last three or five years, they've elevated themselves. They have a lot of resources. I think Oregon spent close to $40 million last year. That was just one year. Now, I might be off a few million."

Nebraska Cornhuskers Athletic Director Troy Dannen previously reported that Oregon's NIL was more around $23 million last season.

From the mouth of Gundy, Oklahoma State's NIL threshold over the last three seasons was just $7 million. He also believes that non-conference scheduling should have matchups with programs that have the same level of funding.

“Nobody likes to know the ending of the movie. My concern is they need to get a grasp at some point because what I hear chatter from coaches around the country is that non-conference scheduling, and I never thought anybody would ever say this, should be based on the financial situation for each school. Oregon is paying a lot, a lot of money for their team. From a non-conference standpoint, there’s coaches saying they should play teams that are spending the same amount of money.”

Oregon coach Dan Lanning responded right back to Gundy's comment when speaking with the media, expressing that financial backing by donors and alumni is the only way a college football team can be successful in today's climate of athletics.

"Ultimately, how blessed are we to be in a place that’s invested in winning? If you want to be a Top 10 team in college football, you'd better be invested in winning. And we spend to win. Some people save to have an excuse for why they don’t."
