re: What is your estimate of a typical SEC NIL budget per year?

Texas has already been told to shut down two of their slush funds. They freaked out and reacted without thinking after not starting out strong. They may have got themselves in some trouble along with Miami and one other that where blanket paying all players/position groups. How much “A&M” spent is none how much our boosters offered to spend is probably a few mil spread around 10-15 kids. With the very few rules associated with NIL it was very easy for schools with large rich donor bases who are football focused to go all in. That’s what you saw from Bama, A&M. I don’t think Woodward or LSU itself are why y’all didn’t do a lot in the NIL game boosters who would of covered those contracts where paying O’s buyout and Kelly’s new contract and smaller boosters may be a bit turned off on investing into a product with how the last two seasons went and a new unkown coach coming in. LSU has alot of big oil boosters similar to us, I’d imagine you guys are heavy in NIL with Bama and A&M next year without the extra distractions and costs going on.
