Haha hilarious- the A&M “valuation” due to doubling donations yoy from 2022 for Jimbo’s buyout perhaps? Multiplying that by 4 and calling it revenue? Love the rigor… hilarious math
“starting with a base revenue multiple of four for all institutions, and then adjusting the multiple for variables, including conference affiliation, estimated NIL spend, school subsidies, number of alumni and other factors that can catalyze future revenue growth”

The amount of turnover they are having is not the sign of a healthy program. 7-5 or worse

Clemson is like bizarro Texas when it comes to NIL. Should be interesting.
re: Jake Ehlinger sign at Game Day was tasteless

Former Texas now NFL QB Sam Elingers younger brother was a linebacker on the team a few years ago. OD’d on Xanax laced with fentanyl and was found dead. Not sure why it came up on a sign at this point, but I think taffe (safety who had the early int) was HS teammates also.

Takes a special person to put that sign up…

Can you watch that defense and not see playmakers at multiple levels? The d alone puts them in top conversation. Would they take more losses w a harder schedule? Obviously, like every other team

Yep. Oregon, OSU, Michigan, USC, Texas, Miami & Georgia prob, A&M depending on how their donors are feeling…. (Seem to be in a buying mood lately again)
The not list includes LSU,Alabama (goodbye saban discount), Clemson, FSU, etc
Edit… forgot USC

We saw that in the Big 12, where it created its own network whose revenue it didn't share with the rest of the conference
Oh and mizzou was sharing their tier 3 rights? No? Ok then. Also A&M was offered to share
re: NIL was supposed to make the strong stronger. But is it actually creating more parity?

Based on what?
The theory goes something like this:
-not every school participated in the bag game, including some strong national brands. Only 8-10 teams were “in”. Bag game was not $100 handshakes from boosters btw.
-the football bag game was a sub $3m expense to get competitive advantage
-in NIL, all national brands are competing
-the threshold for an upper tier NIL program advantage is an order of magnitude higher (say $15m+ annually)
-a lot of that comes from corporate sponsors, which is tied to markets (vs a bag game which could be bankrolled by a few donors).
-many of the bag game school markets are week for corp NIL which means they can’t scale the program to be top tier. Some also have small donor bases
That’s the framework I’ve heard at least. We’ll see to what extent it bears out. Clemson may be a front runner here

The alleged gap between Oregon Ohio st and Texas vs bama lsu Clemson is way smaller than the gap between Texas and and everyone in the big 12 over the past ten years. I’d look for results first. Times are changing but the more they change you’ll find out the more they stay the same
I thought we were talking NIL? The haves in NIL are not going to be the same haves from the bag game era. Sorry bama, lsu, Clemson, etc.

Strong stronger refers to Oregon, Ohio state, Texas, Miami, etc. Not the closed system of Clemson, bama, lsu, etc. a bag game of $1.5m vs an NIL program of $20m

Report is a PCL and LCL and out for the year. Unusual injury- assume it got hyper extended on a knee hit.

This is one of them. A&M brought in $279MM in operating revenue.
As mentioned, its like $50MM lower than that due to made up “revenue” like a $12MM internal loan and a capital campaign.
Anyway interesting Ohio state edges texas w $44MM less fball rev.

On another forum they said it was based on ATM putting a line item in the agreement around retaining NIL rights even if they leave.
