Kansas State has been copied more than Oregon. Bill Snyder pretty much invented the spread option and zone read. He was running it in the 90's with Michael Bishop. And to be honest Alt Jerseys aren't something that Oregon came up with. They came up with 5+ jerseys and they are only copied by Maryland, Baylor, Texas Tech and a few others.

They got good kids for several reasons including neat uniforms, then they got good. I think you have it backwards.
I looked around at the origin of the spread offence, and I could find zero connection with Snyder. Lots of versions of the spread, including the 'option spread' (From Oregon btw) but no connection to Snyder. I'm sort of curious now, got a link?
