Oh FFS if you spent more than fifteen seconds on this you would see the analyst actually did pull this bs out of his arse.
If you seriously think that Tennessee is spending less than Virginia and Oregon is spending less than UK, you need to hand your white cloak to Radagast or someone, because boy, you ain’t too bright.
I can’t believe I live in a world where people are skeptical of newspapers, but will take what some rando on Twitter says as gospel.
I was just razzing you a bit. The second comment I got a little carried away, that’s a more people-in-general observation than something specific to you.Don’t get pissy, guy is not some random twitter bro, he’s a friggen analyst for 247 for a decade and SDS before that. Doesn’t mean he’s not FOS of course.
I get it sounds unbelievable because it went against what I thought too but give me facts, not attitude.
Out of curiosity, how would you even begin to know this? I don‘t know either way, but I don’t have these folks financial info that you might have.I am sorry but did you say Matthew McConaughey? He may be very generous but I would be surprised if he is a top 10 donor for Texas. He is super wealthy no doubt but not Texas wealthy.
These are estimates of Revenue sharing per school allowed under the proposed NCAA revenue sharing model scheduled to become effective for the 2025-26 fiscal year. This table assumes each school will share 22% of its annual revenue with its athletes not to exceed the annual NCAA cap estimated to be $ 20.5 million for the 2025-26 fiscal year. However, a school (such as Mississippi State above) can revenue share up to the $ 20.5 million cap even if it exceeds 22% of its annual revenue. Participation is optional, schools can elect not to share revenues with athletes, or share revenues at any amount less than the annual cap. The cap is estimated to increase to around $ 30 million annually per school over the next ten years. Revenue sharing is in addition to any 3rd party NIL compensation and athletic scholarships received by athletes.
These are averages per athlete. In actuality, a few players per team will receive substantially higher than the average, while many will get much less. For players who see little if any playing time, their revenue share will also likely be little or none.
Computed Athletic Department revenue includes event tickets and admission fees, game guarantees, TV, media, licensing, advertising, sponsorships and royalty rights, bowl game, NCAA and conference distributions and all related revenues. Revenue does not include direct or indirect school support, student fees or unrecompensed (i.e. charitable) contributions to the athletic department from alumni and boosters.

Bogus list. See post #25. Pure BS.
Michigan is going to use $50M per year in NIL going forward via Larry Ellison who is worth well north of $200 billion.
Simply putting a couple of billion in a trust to generate $50M a year is nothing to some people. Calculate the interest on $5B and realize guys like Ellison can essentially drop another billion in every 5-10 years as the market increases and never feel it.

Larry Ellison’s Michigan Millions: New Normal in College Football?
In the new world of NIL-driven college football recruitment, a billionaire can buy you a star quarterback.frontofficesports.com
LOLI think this is ALL Sports. UK and Virginia make sense when you factor in Basketball NIL spending.
Sadly, Tennessee probably is lower. It helps explain some of our difficulty in recruiting (as well as probation). We may have gotten a head start with Nico and others but the other SEC programs are likely closing the gap.
Florida just stole Lagonza Hayward, I imagine NIL had a play in that.
NIL can't be capped and the solution is to pull off the band-aid and turn these high spending college teams into the pro teams they are.I've said this for a long time and even posted about the Ellison deal on another thread here a few days ago. It's now the NFL without salary caps. The NFL realized it would be in the best interest of the sport to limit total salary money so a team or few teams couldn't dominate the sport. Unfortunately at this time there isn't any way to do that with college sports.
As the article says Oregon has virtually unlimited funds to buy players courtesy of Phil Knight. I don't know if it's big factor but Steve Ballmer's (~$ 150 Billion ) wife is not only an Oregon alum, she's on the board of trustees there.
I donate $25 per month to The Volunteer Club and have since it began. Even though it isnt much, i wanted to try and help make the program better.Show your donation records, then we will show ours. Stop speaking for others, without showing that you have contributed Checkerboard or above. UT is blessed to have a ful stadium with the economy. It's not the average fans job to finance the football team brother.
Done!I donate $25 per month to The Volunteer Club and have since it began. Even though it isnt much, i wanted to try and help make the program better.
Honestly, i dont understand why more dont donate these small amounts. Obviously not everyone can, but i know beyond a shadow of a doubt more than 3800 Vol fans can afford some donation.
Hell of all the folks who claim to be Vol fans donated $5 per month, we would stay near or at the top of the list above.
