We worked to get as many independent, trustworthy estimates as possible from people inside and outside a program: those who broker the deals, direct the teams from the sidelines on Saturdays and watch the games from luxury boxes. We contacted at least one employee from each school to give them an opportunity to offer information about their roster budgets. Schools typically avoid making their exact player compensation information public, citing everything from state laws to student privacy concerns to competitive disadvantages, but many (though not all) provided at least some input into the ranges below.

Alabama 5th in the SEC? No wonder Saban got the hell out of dodge and hasn't looked back.

No body publishes their expenses. So there is no way to know who spends what.

The NIL deals have to go through a Big 4 Clearinghouse, so yes there is a way to know. It’s just not public. Just bc it’s not public doesn’t mean that the numbers are lies.

They need to post the Clearinghouse numbers as a report with the overall numbers at the end of each year.

Will Oregon donors demand a refund?
