If this article is true, UT needs to double their amount spent. If you want to have the Jimmy's and Joe's, you better pony up the dough and gold! I would actually like to see where UT would finish in recruiting with a top 3 NIL money spent to get the Jimmy's and Joe's!

I also think Nico is getting way too much of the amount spent. Is he really getting about 2 million a year? If so, UT isn't getting their money's worth for Nico! He didn't impress at all most of the year. Yes, the OL could have played better. But, he should have played a ton better considering the ton of money he is getting. If the team was pissed because Nico's parents were asking for more NIL money, UT should have let him walk and got a proven stud in my opinion. I haven't seen anything to say he is going to be the stud he is supposed to be soon!

I’m pretty sure we have the money to spend or we can absolutely get it. I still think the real question is if we can convince the top tier players to come here to begin with so we can actually spend top dollar on them.

Been several threads on this already. These numbers are "estimates" and not based on any factual information available. From the article:

"our estimates are not what specific collectives receive in contributions. Instead, we are providing what we believe to be a reasonable estimate of funding a collective(s) supporting the school might be expected to generate in funding, given the school’s historic level of support from boosters. “


I can assure you, Virginia is not outspending UT in NIL. And according to most insiders with knowledge, UGA and Bama are not among the top spenders in NIL either. They'll tell you straight up that if a recruit is looking primarily at NIL, UGA and Bama will most likely not be involved. Of course, having their track record of success and putting players in the draft, they don't need to be top 5 in NIL... at least right now.

How do you know UVA isn’t outspending us? Their alumni have more money at their disposal. Also Bama and Georgia just had their worst seasons in years.

What are they spending it on? Cause it certainly isn't sports. Since NIL started, the highest they've finished in football recruiting is 67th. In basketball, the highest they've finished is 13th in 2022 (outside the top 25 other seasons).

So where exactly is their money going if they are outspending us?

I'm not sure what your last point is trying make.

They may be spending it in nonrevenue sports, they may be spending it so that their entire roster is making decent money but not enough to get stars, there’s any number of way it could be getting spent.

My last point was in response to you saying Bama and Georgia aren’t getting involved with blue chip guys seeking NIL bags. If true, they may want to rethink that since they just had their worst seasons in years.

There is zero evidence to support such a suggestion. NIL is funded by donors to funnel money to the players. No school is gonna fund the primary amount of their assets into sports that do not generate money. And they quite clearly aren't spending it in recruiting because they aren't signing highly ranked recruits.

The ENTIRE article was based on a guess. And a poor guess at that.

I imagine there has to be some reasoning for saying Virginia has spent that amount of money. Idk how accurate the article is in total, but coming out with that number for Virginia is probably not some random number assigned to some random team

I don't know how accurate it is either but I do know money is going to athletes of non revenue generating sports. A person that I trust very much said she knew of a tennis player that received $100,000 at another SEC school. Not much by football standards but if a lot of athletes in non revenue generating sports are receiving money like this it can add up fast.

The listed their reasoning. And it's an absolute guess based on zero actual evidence. The only thing they are basing it off of is booster donations to the school. Which is ridiculous. Harvard probably gets more money through donations than any school in the country. Are we to believe that Harvard is a leader in NIL?

This is why the system is so flawed - there is a $13 million difference between 25 (Illinois) and 1 (Texas). No telling where Miss State and Vanderbilt fall and they have to compete with Texas every year?

If you really care, just give as much NIL money much as you can. Turn beer/liquor/ cigarette money into NIL money. Healthier for everyone, especially mentally healthier for Volnation. In other words, donate or quit complainin.

Wait till the Texas’s and Oregon’s get up to a $50 million NIL budget. MS St and Vandy won’t be the only ones that will have a problem. I fear we will as well. And we are one of the ones that are pretty well off.

I'm sure the Coach's care about opinions on here. I'm guessing they have a salaried position that monitors opinions and makes decisions based off that.

How many FR play at an elite level their 1st yr as a starting QB? Especially one that has $hitty pass blocking and an embarrassing amount of dropped passes. So, for a RS FR in his first year as a starting QB, he's 11-3 as a starting QB, tied for #2 in the SEC, make it to the CFP in his 1st year, throws for 2600 yards, 64% completion percentage, a 19/5 TD/ Int rate, 364 rushing yards, 3 more rushing TD's, beat our 2 biggest Rivals Ala/ Fla, 145 passer rating and got sacked 28 times.. His numbers were much better than Peyton's his 1st year as a starter, better than DJ Lagway's stats, better than Jalen Milroe's stats. I mean, considering how bad his pass blocking was and all the drops his WR's had. Chris Brazzell was #3 in the SEC with 6 drops.

I saw a stat the other day on dropped passes by TN WR',s on on target passes.

In 2021 and 2022, Hendon Hooker had his WR's drop 9.1% on his on target passes both years. In 2023 Joe Milton had his WR's drop 10% of his on target passes. Now to Nico..He had 15.8% of his on target passes dropped. His WR's didn't help him at all.

I agree. I am a UT and UVA alum. UVA has beautiful facilities and non revenue sports are a big thing in hooville, they have had great success. But outspending UT in NIL, not buying that at all.

30 Mil per year, spent on all sports was the original goal. Sustainable or not?
