It was reported we spent 10 mill?
Ok. If Nico made 2.4 and we had 2 oline making 1 mill..james pierce was atleast another mill. So thats 5.4 mill of 10 mill on 4 players. Im not a math expert buts 50 plus % on 4 players is not ideal. Its no wonder we lost so much in portal and got so little.
Money wins. Just like it was before Nil. Now its the wild wild west but only legal and unregulated

Yes...for the near future, let's not see "Tennessee has made x the highest NIL recipient at his position ".

Take a page out of some the better NFL teams and spread that money around.

I think the football budget is more than $10 million. (I had seen $13 million somewhere.) But it dang sure isn’t anywhere near Ohio State’s $22 million.

I think 10 mill to 12 was realistic.
Not enough. Esp if we spend 8mill in bbal. Danny has been great. But he needs to step up to new age of athletics

Ohio State's budget is supposed to be 20 million. They have 7 players that its reported to make almost half that this next year. its the way NIL works. players 40-85 on your roster make a very small portion of NIL. Probably is players 30-85 instead of 40

they only have 3 players reported to make over a million this season.

Georgia has one player projected at over a million this season

I mean you can really only step up raising money so much. I would have to check numbers but I bet you would find the AD is pulling in more money than any point before. Again this is my uneducated opinion but I bet the figures back that up. Of course you could counter with and be right that it costs more to be competitive than ever before.

Saw a report this morning that Texas now has a $40 million roster. Should we just go ahead and crown them national champs?

naw, still gotta do it on the field.

I bet that includes the 20 million for revenue sharing.. Revenue sharing (if it happens this year) ups Tennessee's by 20 million also

We lost literally no one of importance besides mediocre Nico and backup Jakobe

I'm glad the players are getting enough to pay for food so they're not starving, and put gas in the car

I think Michigan announced they would be doing that several months ago also. They aren’t going to be the only ones spending that much.

I came on this board when it was announced that OU and Texas would join the conference and said that their oil money would knock Alabama off their perch. Now it is happening.

I was at the Big Orange Caravan the other night when he said that and it’s very impressive. What he didn’t say is what the expenses have increased to. Our budget for paying players will increase by necessity but I’ll bet it won’t be in the realm of Texas and Ohio State.
