COLLEGE SPORTS
Former Oregon State star Mikayla Pivec
discusses the value of NIL for women
BY NICK DASCHEL
The Oregonian
In one regard, Mikayla Pivec
was born a couple of years too
early.
The former Oregon State
women’s basketball star could
have been an ideal candidate to
take advantage of college athlet-
ics’ updated name, image and
likeness rules that kicked in
Thursday.
Pivec, who finished her OSU
career in 2020, will root from
afar for her former teammates
and Beaver athletes regarding
new opportunities. Pivec looks
back at her tenure and recalls
not even being able to accept a
$5 cup of coffee from someone
because it might jeopardize el-
igibility.
Now, Pivec could not only
take the coffee, but profit from
endorsing the coffee.
Pivec, who plays professional
basketball overseas, believes the
updated NIL rules are particu-
larly important for women.
“Those four years of college,
as a female athlete especially,
that’s where you have the most
exposure,” Pivec said. “That’s
where you can really create as
many connections as you can
and help whatever cause, or
whatever you want to do.”
Pivec says she “missed out on
a window,” particularly where
she could have used social me-
dia to profit from her name,
image and likeness. It would
have come in handy, and will
be a boost for future players in
her sport looking to play pro-
fessional basketball.
“Wouldn’t have made me
rich, like the Kardashians, but
“(NIL laws) wouldn’t have made me rich, like the
Kardashians, but I feel like I could have built up a
little bit of a safety net. It’s a good supplement for those
wanting to play professional basketball, because a lot
of women may give up on their dream earlier, or may not
pursue it because the money isn’t there.”
— Mikayla Pivec
I feel like I could have built up
a little bit of a safety net,” Pivec
said. “It’s a good supplement for
those wanting to play profes-
sional basketball, because a lot
of women may give up on their
dream earlier, or may not pur-
sue it because the money isn’t
there.”
Another aspect of NIL close
to Pivec is the ability to help
nonprofits. During her college
tenure, Pivec couldn’t so much
as pose for a picture to help out
a charity. Weeks after her bas-
ketball career ended and early
during the pandemic, Pivec
helped start “Selfless Servings,”
which raised money to pur-
chase restaurant meals for Cor-
vallis-area health care workers.
If Pivec were still in college,
she said, “I would have still
volunteered for free and done
certain things, just to help the
community.”
Pivec doesn’t recall promi-
nent conversations from bas-
ketball teammates about poten-
tial endorsement opportunities.
But it was a hot topic of discus-
sion while she was a member
of OSU’s Student Athlete Advi-
sory Committee.
“I thought something like
this would happen, but five, 10
years down the line, not full
force like it is Thursday,” Pivec
said.
Pivec does worry that NIL
could sidetrack the primary
mission of student-athletes.
“It could go really poorly
if agents want to get in on all
these athletes being distracted
from what they’re really there
to do, which is to compete and
get a degree,” Pivec said.
Golf
That was before the out-
break of the new coronavirus.
The Olympics not only were
postponed, but COVID-19 re-
strictions in place for the Tokyo
Games to go on have stripped
away so much fun and activity
involved with being Olympic
athletes.
Wait until Paris in 2024! On
to Los Angeles in 2028!
If only it were that simple.
Johnson already was plan-
ning to skip the Olympics be-
fore the pandemic. He had not
won the FedEx Cup and it both-
ered him, so he didn’t want to
fly halfway around the world af-
ter a major and before a World
Golf Championship and then
play three consecutive weeks
with a $15 million prize at stake.
Turns out he won it last year,
anyway.
There will be more players
like him.
And that’s why there will be
attendance issues with the men.
As long as there is a pot of gold
at the end of the Olympics, the
value of Olympic gold will suf-
fer.
“I can’t speak for what
Olympics mean
for a lot of people.
But for me, it’s everything.”
little differently,” she said. “Men
trying to work it in their sched-
ule with a lot more tourna-
ments going on and a lot more
going on is different.”
It was a big deal for Park,
who delivered a true Olympic
moment.
Think of the sports in which
athletes trained their entire lives
for a stage that comes along
once every four years. Park sat
out from top competition for
two months to let an injury
heal, even as there were whis-
pers in South Korea that she
should give up her spot to an-
other player in the powerhouse
country.
Park then whipped up on the
No. 1 player in the world to win
the gold medal.
It’s a big deal for Sungjae Im
and Siwoo Kim, who can avoid
mandatory military service in
South Korea by winning an
Olympic medal. Not even a
green jacket can do that.
For so many other men, it’s
more of an honor than a prior-
ity. As long as they play, there’s
nothing wrong with that.

Patrick Cantlay lines up a shot on the second green during the final
round of the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands on Sun-
day, June 27, in Cromwell, Connecticut. Despite being ranked in the top
10 in the world, Cantlay was not high enough to grab one of the four
spots on the men’s U.S. Olympic golf team for the Tokyo Games.

Oregon State’s Mikayla Pivec (0) drives against Stanford’s Lexie Hull
(12) in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 women’s basketball tournament
in Las Vegas in March.
They will never catch up with
the women, who have made it
perfectly clear by near-perfect
attendance that the Olympics
mean as much to them as any-
thing they play.
“I can’t speak for what Olym-
pics mean for a lot of people,”
Danielle Kang said last week.
“But for me, it’s everything.”
There are differences to con-
sider, of course, namely the tour
schedules and the stakes, along
with the fame the women get at
the Olympics that doesn’t hap-
pen at some of their majors, like
the Evian Championship.
For the administrators who
lobbied to get golf into the
Olympics, they should be en-
couraged by two Olympics
separated by five years and two
viruses.
It was largely concern and
fear about the Zika virus that
kept 22 eligible players from go-
ing to the 2016 Olympics. There
was an unspoken pledge they
would be all in for Japan.
— Danielle Kang
The men’s majors have a cen-
tury or more of history behind
them. The Olympics went a
century without having golf.
Consider the last few months.
Kang couldn’t keep her eyes
off the world ranking, hopeful
she could hold down her po-
sition and earn a spot in the
Olympics. For the men, the
Olympics are like the Presidents
Cup. No one really talks about
it until the final week to make
the team.
“I just think men golfers, they
just have so many big events,”
Inbee Park said. “They have
so many opportunities and so
many different weeks with so
many big tournaments. For us,
I think it’s a little different. We’re
not as big as men’s golf.
“So I think girls just treat it a
