As you know, the Oregon Ducks are gearing up for our first season in the Big Ten. This move presents opportunities for our team, but it also comes with heightened competition against new and formidable adversaries.

Our new rivals are already making significant strides in the NIL arena. Michigan raised nearly $1 million from fans after they won the National Championship, and Ohio State reportedly invested over $10 million in the transfer portal this spring.

It's clear that the competition is fierce, and to stay competitive, we need to step up our game.

That's where you, our loyal Ducks fans, come in. Ducks Rising, the NIL Collective of the Oregon Ducks, is calling upon each and every one of you to chip in and support our team as we navigate this new frontier.

Whether you decide to become a member or chip in whatever you can, your contributions to Ducks Rising fund NIL contracts with top athletes, allowing the Oregon Ducks to recruit and retain the best.

There is strength in numbers and together we can rise to the challenge and show the Big Ten what Oregon Ducks are made of.
