“I signed up to coach at the highest level. The West Coast Conference is not the highest level. It doesn’t have the most resources. And that’s where we’re headed next year as an affiliate member, whatever that means. And so that’s something for even me to think through,” Rueck said.
“For me, I’ve got every reason to stay here. But that is what drives me. I just know me. I know I’m in a great fit,” Rueck said.
Sounds like he basically mirrors what the players were likely thinking when he says this is not what I signed up for. No wonder he was rumored to be looking around at other jobs. Ideally, he wants to stay in Corvallis, but I am not sure he stays if we don't get into a major conference in the next year or two.

“NIL in its purest form is a great thing. … If it’s to entice athletes and it turns into a bidding war, a free agency war, with no restraints, how’s that gonna work out? That won’t work," Rueck said. "There’s already donor fatigue across the country. We know that. So that money’s not going to be there. Sometimes people sign up for things and it’s not there and that’s why there’s still a lot of transfers. Because people are being promised things that are not delivered upon.”
I thought this was an interesting point, especially the idea of donor fatigue.

I've posted numerous articles that give actual NIL $ and number of deals versus the online rumors and fabrications. SR again points out much of it is pure BS and it is out of control.

Donor fatigue will be followed by lack of fan interest (donor or not),,,the next steps after that...who knows, but it won't e pretty

If I am not mistaken there is printed wording on some denominations of US Currency that state "In God we trust".
Given what I have observed about the norms, behaviors, etc. of the U.S. population and it's leaders ever increasingly the phrase should be changed to "In Greed we trust".

I heard that somewhere

Just thinking out loud here..... If what Rueck says is correct, that is: many players who exited thru the portal are finding that the school they chose does not live up to its NIL promises - what then are the chances that some of the players who left OSU this year might end up back in Corvallis next year? GO BEAVS!!

GO BEAVS!! Roughly .001%....well, rounding up .0011%. It could happen!

GO BEAVS!! I do not really pay attention to the portal unless info is posted on here. To me it just doesn't matter. As many of us have said, we root for the kids who want to be here at OSU, and don't give and eff about those that chose not to be. I don't delve too deeply into other programs unless they are an opponent or are a part of a larger discussion. I would guess (have seen) that there are some that enter and return without signing with a new school. But, I am guessing not many make a 2nd (or 3rd) portal move back to their original school. Possible... but they left seeking something "else" that wasn't at OSU, so unlikely they suddenly find it back at OSU.

The only thing we know for sure is that nobody left because she wanted a chance to get to an Elite Eight.

rgeorge writes: "Possible... but they left seeking something "else" that wasn't at OSU, so unlikely they suddenly find it back at OSU." ------- That's roughly what I was getting at. Rueck says some schools (NIL) don't live up to their promises. So if a player leaves OSU because of promises that are never fulfilled, i.e. the player was misled or lied to, then what are the chances that player might come back to OSU?
I'm not saying it's likely. But it certainly seems like a believable scenario.
In the adult world: Mary likes her job but leaves because a competitor promises her a big salary. It never materializes as promised, so Mary says I'll see if my old job is still available. I liked my boss, maybe he'll take me back.
Hypothetical, for sure. But everything is until it happens. GO BEAVS!!

GO BEAVS!! I doubt that will happen very often at all. None of them are going to want to basically admit they were wrong when they left the first time.
