Until NIL, bama's $ went to, ahem, scholarships. As Steve Spurrier was fond of saying, their scholarships were more valuable than the ones other SEC schools could give out.
At $528 million and 12th on this list, it looks like a lot more bang for the buck at Alabama.

Bama has a very large fan base. But Auburn alums have more money and when you start going down the list of the wealthiest families in the state, you see decisively more Auburn grads on the list.
It’s $580 million versus $528 million. You’re acting like it’s rags versus riches.
In that case, do you think either are at some massive disadvantage versus someone like Oregon?

What about Tim Cook? I’d have renamed JHS Apple Field by now if I was y’all.
ETA: And, I would have had renamed your FOF the Cook Center for Player Development and made it feel like a high-end Apple store inside with every piece of tech imaginable.

Northwestern is pegged at 800 million so sure to be 1 billion at least if contracts there are like everywhere else.

Tulane focusing on academics and Wallace Wade say hello
I would also point out had Heisman never moved on to TaterLand and Bumbles it could have been flipped early on, but I guess kids today don't study history.

Some of my all-time favorite BBT moments was because of that system.

Mizzou, Arkansas, and Memphis would get more money, but the Walton’s like to spread their money around and for some reason spend it on academics. Just about any school you go to in Missouri will have a building with a Walton name on it.
