Is there anything in the video to refute my completely uninformed speculation that they are just cutting out the middle man.
Previous:
Nike donates $1 million to LSU -> LSU donates $900k to Athletics -> Athletics gives $800k to athletes.
Current:
Nike donates $1 million to athletes.

Nike feels that with these athletes, they can do advertising to sell products.

They already do NIL deals with athletes through several schools, that's not the new part.
The new part looks like they're making a commitment to do LSU athletes year end and year out.
That's a good question about Oregon, my guess is that the commitment is there from Phil Knight, but no written commitment, necessary
This would definitely be a big selling point if you were a top recruit in one of these sports

So a regular endorsement deal done through NIL for existing college athletes? So why not with Oregon?

Oregon doesn't draw the viewership and social media interactions that LSU does, especially in sports like baseball, wbb, gymnastics, T&F, softball

Legislation forthcoming. It's becoming too lucrative across just a few programs. Sucks, but the govt won't let this $$$ spree keep going by anyone.
If it kills off Phil Knight and OR, it's a plus.

What's legislation going to do about it? Artificially limit the amount players receive. How do you determine a player's worth? Dont see the courts allowing a 3rd party set the compensation for a player.

It takes you 20 minutes to watch the first six minutes of a video?

Brands taking up with a specific school is an interesting move.
I personally won't use Warby Parker and particularly All State or Bud Light because I had to watch their Longhorn commercials all fall. Would do the same for any brand that is advertising specifically with a school in direct competition with A&M.
Luckily Nike is an easy one since I won't buy their slave made products anyway.

NCAA did for years. they even issued rules prohibiting athlete only dorms with extra services and perks, as I recall.
