Mike Gundy highlighted Oregon's nearly $40 million football spending last year, contrasting with Oklahoma State's $7 million over three years, sparking debate on budget disparities in college football.
- Oregon and Oklahoma State will play their first football game against each other since 2008 on September 6 at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.
- The matchup gained extra attention because Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy repeatedly highlighted Oregon's much higher spending on football, especially on name, image, and likeness deals.
- Gundy noted Oregon's NIL spending was near $40 million last year compared to Oklahoma State's approximately $7 million over the past three years, and he suggested nonconference scheduling should consider such financial disparities.
- Oregon coach Dan Lanning acknowledged Gundy's coaching success but emphasized his own team's investment in winning, stating, "Ultimately, he's a great coach," and "how blessed are we to be in a place that's invested in winning?"
- This financial gap between the programs underscores larger concerns about competitive balance in college football and could influence future nonconference scheduling and NIL spending discussions.
