Pretty hard to recruit against that for most schools. I assume they used Phil Knight money. In the mean time, Stanford declares poverty and cuts sports.

This is sui generis. It's for Oregon track, the home of Pre's trail and the "track and field capital of the world."  And it's Phil Knight paying back the men who were indispensable to his company's success, Bill Bowerman and Steve Prefontaine. This explains the level of investment from Knight and no doubt others who held/hold large blocks of swoosh stock (e.g., Tinker Hatfield, long time head of design and former Duck pole vaulter.)
