Oregon drops lawsuit against Dakoda Fields after fee paid
Summary

The University of Oregon has dismissed its lawsuit against former football player Dakoda Fields after he paid outstanding contract fees. Originally, Oregon claimed Fields breached his contract due to an unpaid fee to be released from the team. In February, both parties had agreed that Fields would pay $39,882, with a potential waiver if he made a $29,882 payment by April 20. The complaint, filed on May 15, indicated Fields failed to meet that deadline but has since settled by paying all owed fees, including legal costs. Fields transferred to the University of Oklahoma on January 5, after appearing in three games for Oregon in the 2025 season.
