Phil Knight isn’t going to create some convoluted playing card scheme to pay players.
He’s a billionaire who runs a shoe company. He’s going to pay those players directly.
And he’ll also directly pay players who never even look at Oregon.
As a fan, he obviously wants Oregon to be good. As a business man, he wants players to sign with Nike and play where they get the most visibility possible. If a player’s choice is to be the 10th guy on a stacked Oregon team or a star at another school, he’s going to want that player to be a star.
Boosters for individual schools won’t be able to compete with the free market, where there are billions to be made.
