Nobody in terms on the general public

The public does know the ballpark though. Moscona, who you are using as an example has publicly said that LSU offered both Wingo and Smith $500k to stay. He also said that Williams was asking for 7 figures that would have made him the 2nd highest paid guy in the program behind BK. So if you believe that, you can start at $2.5 million.

These On3 numbers aren't made by the general public. They are insiders who talk to players, coaches, boosters, ect. They definitely have inside info on what some of these guys are making. You used Shea Dixon as an example of someone who might know what they are making. Shea works for On3.

in contrast to the very public facts and figures Forbes uses to determine franchise value in your bad example.

The comparison is to explain to people the difference between "valuation" and "earnings"
