Johnson, 66, has put together a two-part, nine-page mission statement outlining an NIL program that would involve work-study internships for players through OSU’s College of Business. He has met with Beaver basketball coach Wayne Tinkle and Colleen Bee, the school head of marketing, analytics and design as well as OSU’s faculty athletics representative. He has also met with Alexis Serna, director of Oregon State’s “Beyond Football” program. Johnson also plans to meet with OSU athletic director Scott Barnes and Kyle Bjornstad, executive director of “Dam Nation,” Oregon State’s existing NIL collective.
“Several guys from my era — Mark Radford, Ray Blume, Bill McShane, Charlie Sitton, Lester Conner — are all in,” Johnson says. “There are people from A.C. Green’s era. I’ve spoken to A.C. He is interested. I’ve spoken to Gary Payton. He is all in.”
