Saw a little blub that UT has the highest NIL budget in football with $23 mil
Aggies are at $18.5 mil
Tech at $11 mil

How can we get Longhorns to still be interested in the CFP… Let’s tell them they’re winning something related to it…
The article provides no real methodology for the “estimates”. Just subjective bits of info like “huge fanbase”. Meh. The horns giant revenue streams are irrelevant since rev share is capped. No way this guy has access to every schools NIL collective or 3rd party deals.
Also Horns

According to the article, the NIL that is being reported is for the January transfer portal. It is a subset of the team’s overall NIL. It does not include NIL for existing players or NIL paid to high school recruits.

Tech spent $5million just on QB Sorsby.
Not likely their total is only $11 million

Reading that article and adding up the totals for all colleges is 100s of millions on a game is sad considering the world’s problems… Okay now what time is kickoff.

As hard as it is these days with NIL hits and misses, you would think if a coach wants to win the NC, and puts together a team that actually makes the CFP, the coaches for Ol’ Miss would not leave. Seems like a resume builder to say, we put together a NC team and won the NC. From Kiffen on down, it is not about the NC, just show me the money. Will be interesting when we play LSU in 2027. If it is not about the NC, then why are schools paying college QB’s $5 million.
On top of rev share?
I read Tech had spent $54MM over 2 + years

Maybe no one has any idea what is really spent by private individuals paying private individuals?
C’mon guy’s this is just this years transfer portal NIL spending. It doesn’t include the base $20+ million paid by the school or the prior year’s NIL spending which is likely to be 2 to 3 times greater than this.
So for example, for next season it seems that Texas Tech will spend $20M+ base, plus $20M+ prior years’ NIL plus $10M+ current year NIL…adding up to their total football players compensation next season being ~$50-60Million. And so by comparison, UT and ATM are seemingly spending somewhere around $70-$80Million/year on football player compensation.

There are like a century’s worth of those articles.
Third party NILs are between the player and a third party (think local business, corporation, etc.) are reported to the school in excess of $600.00, but the school is not required to make that information public. New guidance under the House settlement requires centralized reporting of NIL to determine fair market value, but that information is not made public.
I am skeptical of any information released by a school that cannot be corroborated with the school’s Financial Statement.
