September 4 update click on women's basketball
There 134 University women's basketball NIL compare.
They tell where they get estimate from.
Not direct payroll from the Universitys

UConn 7 million
LSU 6 million
Texas Notre Dame South Carolina 5 million
Missouri went down 1.5 million
Not all but the site gives better estimate on Women's basketball than I seen from other sites where they give nil valuation for the whole Athletic program of some Universitys
and don't break it down by programs Different sports.

There other universities besides Missouri women's basketball the sideline adjusted but I did not write there previous update down.
Besides the teams I listed in my previous post when I started thread.

It doesn’t have Tennessee’s women’s basketball listed at all, not sure why. Tennessee’s spending on WBB NIL is behind Texas, LSU and South Carolina, but ahead of the rest of the SEC.

Important to note that their numbers are estimated value of the roster, not actual data on what those schools’ athletes are actively earning. It’s all and educated guess.

@DeerPark12

Missouri's athletic director said that he wasn't going to share every sport breakdown of Revenue sharing Because most teams where not sharing.
he says they hopes to get to where they do

But available public disclosures
helps get an estimated NIL numbers
The sideline said they didn't have actual payroll numbers

Other sites have said top sec teams are spending 5 million dollars plus NIL
Texas Vic said
Players cost 300,000 to 1 million

Your right there are no concrete numbers out there
unless you're part of the NCAA Clearing House
in charge of NIL
doubt that they are saying all the numbers

anyway the side line is free
and has numbers and different sports
don't know no other site that does provide those numbers

appreciate your inside negotiations knowledge

If true, and I don't think we know that at all, this certainly dispels the notion that having available NIL money is the be all and end all of success. 3 of the 8 top spenders are perpetually bad SEC teams.

Their numbers are way off. Texas A&M and Georgia may be big spenders in other sports, but they aren't in WBB. And they still don't have Tennessee listed, so it's not even a true ranking.

There aren't "real" numbers out there because schools only control a portion of NIL money. The rest is done by third-party businesses. I don't have a link to give you, I'm just providing what I know as someone that does contract law for agencies that provide sports and entertainment representation.

I'll say this, schools like Texas and UCLA reached the Final Four with rosters that cost their schools a lot more than UConn and South Carolina. UConn and SC have athletes that are doing quite well, but with deals that were a result of the players' play and profile signed by businesses and player agents, as opposed to money promised to them to attend the school by the school to do ads for the school's partners.

Texas and South Carolina two teams you talked about.

Dawn staley noted that nil packages have become the primary topic when talking to recuits and transfer portal players, rather than focusing on intally on earning a college degree.
Dawn said that programs must address money right away to see if they can afford a player, avoid wasting time.
South Carolina gets players to sign non disclosure agreements to maintain team hormary.
From Dawn or South Carolina.

Seen Jeff Louisville women's basketball coach and other women's basketball coach es.
give numbers from 200,000 to 1.5 million women's basketball for a women's basketball player

Texas spends big in men's football multiple sources.
Seen articles where non big football conferences could spend more in men's basketball.
Texas university has deep money to spread around different sports.

Texas South Carolina Duke UCLA got extra money nil last year . Going to this year and two women basketball teams.
Those teams are getting a head start in NIL funding last two years.

Texas LSU South Carolina UConn UCLA are spending more than teams not top 10-25 rankings in college basketball.

On Missouri women's basketball seen where Missouri newspaper request there numbers Right before Kellie Harper was hired for university spending on tigers different sports teams they 650,000 on women's basketball .
247 power Mizzou reporter who covers tigers said Missouri was doubling the women's basketball budget.
So 1.5 million women's basketball tigers is a good estimate.

In Missouri skyward I posted YouTube video Kellie Harper thread . Was talking about development of NIL funding women's basketball. They where talking about having success on court could grow fan support and business support.

I know any people you worked for as attorney is confidential.
And there agreements. Deerpark12

If Congress passes hard cap 48

That Would help unconn south Carolina women's basketball and other non- competitive football universities in men's basketball and other sports
because teams that have have competitive football teams would be talking big part of the 48 million cap pie.
