Nice.
Be sure to keep donating a part of your paycheck to your school's NIL fund.
Shite is a freakin clown show. The entire sport needs a mass forensic audit of every athletic department.

How many of these that received this increased their ticket prices for next year?

Well, what did the B1G and ACC programs receive?

BIg10 has the most lucrative contract. ACC and Big12 are far behind.

I see this being a problem for the SEC.
Some of the B1G schools are huge with massive alumni bases that are filled with retirees with money to spend. If the best players are up for sale to the highest bidder, quite a few SEC schools are at a major disadvantage.
Everyone has rich alumni, but if you are a Michigan that has been pumping out auto executives for 50+ years and a waiting list for who gets to put their name on the new hospital wing, you are at a distinct advantage in the NIL era.

I tend to agree.
72.4 million overall to each program is peanuts these days ... but it helps to pay the bills.
Most programs reserve a portion of that payout each season to put towards "emergency funds."
Donors are where it's at ... but the SEC has plenty of big money donors.

Exactly. If it was a simple matter of schools with the wealthiest alumni translating to the best football programs, then the blue bloods would be Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Penn, MIT, etc.

The 72.4 million is a windfall that will likely keep climbing and soon hit in excess of 100 million per SEC program. But the big donors, and we all have them, are from where the NIL coffers will be funded.
We recently realized the law of diminishing returns with seats and stadium size. Individual seat licenses are break even revenue streams these days. Luxury boxes and corporate sponsorships are the new model.
One thing few programs ever realize is a return on an individual player's investment. The superstars that make big money after college rarely donate back to the school. There are exceptions but those are rare.

Yep. Never given a dollar, never will. As much as I hate sucking at football, I'd rather see the program shut down than see $1 of mine go towards "NIL" salaries. I buy tickets and merch, and I watch on TV. Take that revenue and spend it. I'm not donating to rent 3 star OT from Austin Peay for 1 season.

Ole Miss got another $10M for the playoff run. And another $10M in payouts from LSU. $20M going towards another playoff run team. Nice.

According to google Ai overview:
quote:
For the 2024 fiscal year, Big Ten Conference distributed around $63.2 million per school to its long-standing members from its record $928 million revenue, with projections for 2025 showing even higher payouts due to expansion and media deals, potentially reaching $75 million
Seems the SEC is doing fine at $72.4

Thank God it's not performance based because otherwise we would owe.
