Oregon players receive Nike Gear for life

[LRock34]

The NCAA is a complete CROCK!!!!! There are a pair of Oregon themed Nike Air Jordans being sold on eBay right now for $5,000 by an Oregon player.

How is this not an illegal benefit provided by a booster????

I know uconn athletes, who have graduated, who still get free uconn Nike gear anytime they want

I also can think of a couple who have sold gear they were given free. It happens at every single university.

Phil knight provides whatever Oregon athletics and the athletes wan. He doesn't care about the cost he is a hardcore fan of the Ducks and lives there. If he lived in ct and did the same for uconn no one would say a thing

I remember the perks I saw players get at UConn in the early 90s. I can imagine what kids get now.
