All I see is a bunch of numbers that are retarded and completely unsustainable.

We've been told that most of our money goes to retention of players that have proven to do well. I honestly can't say it is true or not, but it seems logical if these numbers are correct.
but this is a roster payroll, not a portal payroll. The total money spent on roster is the total money spent on roster regardless of how it is allocated
Y'all should be happy, definitely getting more for your money. At least for now. Y'all should probably be pretty safe as long has Kirby is humming

I promise this is incorrect.

Kind of lines up with probable finishes in the league this year. Who could have predicted NIL could have had such an effect? God, I hate the NCAA for not taking care of business for the last 20 years.

True yet there's plenty of "back channel" information out there to give a pretty damn good estimate. Have to remember, a large majority of these kids, particularly the higher paid ones, are signing some kind of deal. When signing something there is inevitably some record of it somewhere. The Supreme Court has leaks, you think liberal universities dont? Leavitt and Sorsbys contracts leaked within days.
In short, they may not know all but they know enough to give estimates which this is plainly stated to be. Sure there's exaggerations but there are also plenty of kids making more than you'd think. Those 500 grand kids add up.
