Saw this on X:

Collective funding per NCAA estimates

Texas $22.2M
Ohio State $20.2M
LSU $20.1M
Georgia $18.3M
Texas A&M $17.2M
Michigan $16.3M
Alabama $15.9
Florida $15.9M
Clemson $15.2M

We're not the only ones who do less with more.

This appears to be the source nil-ncaa.com/power5

And here is their methodology

It appears to be the work of a Washington State alum


As mentioned above Oregon is absent while Phil Knight is providing unlimited NIL and other incentives which cannot exactly be accounted for:

Oregon flipped the #2 cornerback in the nation and #12 overall player from Ohio State to their 2025 class. And how'd they do that? The Alabama native (so long Crimson Tide) said "[Knight] played a big role, like a huge, big role. He's actually waiting on me to get up there, he's got a lot of stuff planned for me. He's gonna help me make my shoe."



Having thought about this while responding I have to be honest, after defending the Yell Leaders as college kids doing harmless college things, the way NIL is going football related traditions seem farcical as we buy our players every year.

The certificate doesn't show an actual organization so it IS NOT THE NCAA.

In addition:

"Accordingly, 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.

Estimated NIL Collective Funding per School:

To arrive at this estimate, we begin with the total NIL Market 2023-24 projection of $ 1.17 billion as presented in the Opensource report: NIL at Two of which $ 817 million is expected to be generated by NIL collectives supporting athletes at these schools:"

Quote:

---

To present the data on estimated funding available from NIL Collectives we rely on data from multiple sources as well as certain assumptions regarding the data. Unlike public Universities, virtually all NIL Collectives are privately controlled and have no obligation to publicly report information such as their annual fundraising or how funds are spent. Additionally, most NIL collectives are very protective of their funding.

Accordingly, 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 thought Dabo wasn't participating in NIL? His ethics are above such things. Is Clemson now paying?

Florida's facilities need updating, the swamp is old and tired, if they can't put together a good season to raise donor funds, they are in danger of complete collapse. Crazy to spend that on NIL instead of your program needs
