The University of Oregon, as we know it, would not be what it is today without Knight.ĭuck fans may not feel too thankful for Cristobal at this point in the season coming off of another brutal loss with a few questionable coaching decisions. Beyond even the athletic department, Phil and his wife, Penny, have taken a vested interest in the university as a whole, donating millions of dollars for the new science campus, and endless other facilities around the city of Eugene.
The uniforms, the facilities, the players, the coaches everything that we will go on to talk about today and be thankful for, none of it could be possible without Knight and the resources that he has given to the University. The unbelievable amount of money that Knight and his company have donated to Oregon over the years is astounding, and they certainly wouldn’t be where they are today without him. He’s nicknamed Uncle Phil for a reason, and the Ducks aren’t referred to as Nike University just for fun. Is there any man more influential to the Oregon Ducks athletic program than Nike Co-Founder Phil Knight? So on this Thanksgiving Day, as we gather with friends and family, we thought it would be nice to reflect on what Oregon fans should be the most thankful for this year. They have some of the best facilities, uniforms, and coaches in the nation, and routinely are in the conversation among the best teams in the nation across all sports. Oregon is still among the most beloved schools in the nation, loved by recruits and adored by fans.
However, while things are in a downward swing at the moment, the outlook for Oregon Duck fans should be something to put a smile on your face. 12, and the women’s basketball team losing two-straight games after being ranked No. 3 in the ranking, the men’s basketball team dropping from No. It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Oregon Duck fans, with the football team falling from their spot at No.
