Texas’ endowment has nothing to do with football or any sports. The endowment doesn’t fund athletics and is primarily from value attributed to their land holdings, which they lease to large oil and gas companies.

It’s the $$$ their donors have to contribute to their collectives or to NIL directly (whether through their companies or otherwise). They simply have more high net worth individuals in their network, so if they WANT to spend, they can find a way to do that… but these guys are savvy business professionals. They’re not going to get out of control for a single player or players outside of the market Norms, a La whatever the hell Florida was thinking with Jaden Rashada.

TLDR - if they want to drop a bag, they can. But I think the conversation is a little overblown given the absolute dollars for players and each university having wealthy donors of their own… just my 2 cents.
