UT NIL Football Commitment

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Does anyone know how much money that UT pays (in football), against schools like Ohio State LSU?

Thanks.

Nobody knows for sure but OSU is supposedly around 20 mil and we are 14 mil. Rumors though and know one knows for sure.

I've heard the same.
Heard this mornimg LSU is in the 18 - 20 range as well...one of the things that attracted Kiffin.

I remember seeing those numbers somewhere

OSU is a much bigger school with a much bigger fan/alumni base. Makes sense they would have more to spend

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Thanks for the input.

Does Danny White have the power to toss 20m on the table?

According to our fans, it’s not enough and we need to get more, but Danny White only cares about money so he’s a big fat meany head.

They do have a lot of talent Which we could use. I assume it is They have more NIL $$ than we do.

The estimated list I saw was

Texas $35m
OSU $20m
LSU $20m
UGA $18m
A&M $17m

Then a cluster of teams in the 14-17 mil.range rounded out the top 10.. This list did not have the Vols in the top 10

I bet aTm has more NIL cash than uTa

Not a safe bet

 

[Wahoooo]

Don’t look now, but don’t be surprised if Texas Tech is in the top 3-4 next year. A billionaire supposedly donated millions to the NIL fund there to pay whatever it takes for every athletic team there. They bought a new softball team last year and almost won it all.

This is all unbelievable. How do you keep 18-23 year olds from becoming complacent (and therefore not performing or having a desire too) after you give them more money that most of their parents have earned in the previous year - in some cases their lifetimes?

Some will have the "eye of the tiger", but I suspect many will not.

Is there any serious talk about there being a cap? $10-$15 mil maybe?

You can’t cap NIL. That would be struck down in court in no time.

 

[lukeneyland]

We need more. We’ve got a good core coming back next year. With the right additions things could really improve

The House Settlement capped the "school paid" NIL at $20.5M and created a "clearinghouse" to approve other NIL deals.

It was quite the stir and talk for about 2 weeks, then business as usual returned.

The NCAA won't be regulating NIL with any teeth at all because the NCAA won't be regulating ANYTHING with teeth anymore.

No one actually knows. Just rumors. A lot of the "valuations" are based on public donations to the University which can be tracked. NIL funding is nearly impossible to track.

We know that Spyre is considered one of the best collectives in the country. That's about all we know.

Spyre sure has not been able to bring in a top three running back in the fold.

I hate to say this but we spend a crap ton more than Vandy and look how they are doing this year. It’s not always about the highest spender, it’s about who you get and how you coach them up too
