Chip Kelly had multiple teams that were more successful than either Lanning coached Oregon team. Mario cristobal as well. So it’s not “winning big” Also the facilities and uniform combinations and any other reason given have been factors for years. Still doesn’t explain a massive sudden uptick. Lanning is just a great recruiter? I don’t doubt he’s persuasive and relentless. But those qualities didn’t get last minute flips from guys like Conerly and Matayo U. Cash did. Pay for play. This isn’t even a secret. Oregon is known and talked about for this in CFB. And for half the investigative reporting effort Canzano or Wilner have put into multiple other topics it wouldn’t be hard to uncover this but that will never happen. If you are Phil Knight you don’t spend hundreds of millions of dollars desperately trying to win your alma mater a title but stop short of paying the actual key players a relatively small percentage of that. Of course they do. And to your point Brian- of course nothing else make sense to explain it. And listen: Im stating it, I’m not even judging it. It’s CFB today and the SEC has done it for decades, now they just have NIL as a front. I just think it’s hilarious that Lanning has brown bag money to buy players and STILL can’t be the best team in the PNW much less west coast. Must be maddening to watch UW operate clean and come out on top.
And UW doesn't do the same? Evidence of how "clean" they are is what? If the era of NIL is here, what makes you so sure Washington isn't dong the same--higher or lower profile?
