Talking up Oregon’s riches is the wrong move when your team is 5-4
Kyle Whittingham drew more scrutiny this week (yes, more) when he tried to playfully make light of Oregon’s booster class allowing Dan Lanning to “outbid everyone” on the recruiting trail.

“You’re under the microscope now with fans and I’m sure administrators aren’t pleased with how the season’s gone,” MLive’s Ryan Zuke said this week. “And then you go on the radio show on Monday night and talk about how Oregon’s budget is massive and they have $50 million to spend.”
