“We were just completely sold out. Oregon State fans and donors were thrown under the bus, period.”
“Blueprint gets $280,000 a year no matter what — even if they raise zero dollars.”
“At $750,000 raised, literally every penny goes to Blueprint before a single athlete sees a dime.”
“Donors think they’re supporting student-athletes, but 75% of their money is skimmed first.”
“This is not profit-sharing. This is Blueprint taking the revenue before it even becomes profit.”
“Trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets. Oregon State just toppled the bucket.”
“Why was the founder of Dam Nation scrubbed from the record while Blueprint walked in with the keys?”
“OSU is paying Blueprint operatives with Beaver Nation’s money — people who aren’t even OSU employees.”
“We’ve put ourselves in a position where Wazzu, Boise State, and even Fresno will outspend us in NIL.”
“The silence is the scandal. Every day OSU refuses to explain, the trust erodes further.”
“This deal is so bad it makes Nevada’s 20% cut look like a sweetheart arrangement.”
“Either the athletic department is completely inept at negotiating, or someone wanted this outcome.”
