According to On3 Sports, Oregon is one of the top spenders in college football, behind only Texas, Texas Tech and Ohio State, ahead of Texas A&M, Miami and USC.
The Ducks have invested in their roster. They have one of the most well-compensated coaching staffs in the game, which is rapidly becoming a business.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham told Joe Coles of the Deseret News, “We got teams spending supposedly $50 million or more on players, and that’s five, six times what we got.”
The spending has gotten outrageous as teams compete for top players while trying to stay within the $20.
