Oregon State fans and donors got thrown under the bus. Is the athletic department COMPLETELY inept? Or just void of negotiation skills? Either way, it’s a MESS. 🦫💥 #GoBeavs #Blueprint #DamNation

Sportico leaked Oregon State’s NIL contract with Blueprint Sports, and Beaver Nation, it’s worse than we thought. Episode 190 of the Belligerent Beavs Podcast is a flame-thrower. Here’s what the Athletic Department tried to bury: 🔒 OSU locked into a $280,000 annual “management fee” no matter what 📉 75% of NIL revenue up to $1.15M skimmed before athletes see a cent 🫥 Dam Nation founder Kyle Bjornstad vanished, while Brent Blaylock’s shadow looms 💣 Donors blindsided, betrayed, and left asking who the hell is running this department 👉 This is a sellout. It’s a roadmap for how NIL dollars get siphoned, how trust gets shattered, and how universities hand the keys to outsiders. And there’s still more to it. Beaver Nation deserves answers. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifs to never miss any https://www.youtube.com/@belligerentbeavs content.

We had a quarter. Then it unraveled. Here’s the real talk after the 129th Civil War, and what OSU can fix by Friday. IN THE EPISODE 👎 Civil War fallout & the 41–7 reality 🫠 The “fake” punt that changed the game ❓ NIL transparency & Blueprint Sports questions 🥷 Houston preview: how OSU steals one at Reser We break down the opening quarter that teased an upset, the coverage bust on the not-fake fake punt, and why the OL actually showed signs of life (zero sacks!). Maalik’s toughest game, tight end vanishing act, and why the screen game can’t be this hard. Then we go deep on NIL and third-party control: what it means for OSU donors, fans, and recruiting. Finally, the Houston plan in one phrase: run the damn ball, build 2nd-and-manageable, and let Taz cook. SOUND OFF That “not-fake” fake punt… turning point or just the moment we all felt it? And where do you land on NIL transparency: what would you change first? 👇 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifs to never miss any https://www.youtube.com/@belligerentbeavs content.

The more we dig into the Dam Nation sale to Blueprint Sports, the more it raises our eyebrows. Is this really our best option? This seems like it benefits Brent Blaylock and Rob Sine more than the Beaver student athletes. Sound on. #GoBeavs #BeaverFootball #NIL #CollegeFootball #oregonstatefootball #oregonstate #oregonstatebeavers #podcast #beaverfootball
