You bring up a great point that would be great if indeed we have been proactive in that aspect! I’ve never thought about highly funded schools even using this money for the backups….. so many moving parts of this….

If NIL reports are accurate, LSU should have around $40-45 million to spend on its football roster in 2026.
That figure is Rev Share + NIL

quote:
1. Texas Longhorns (Texas NIL Collectives) – ~$40 M (estimated)
One of the highest reported team spend totals, including major deals around star players and multiple multi-million NIL packages.
2. Ohio State Buckeyes – ~$35 M+ (estimated)
Large collective giving premier players (especially wide receivers and other stars) significant NIL backing.
3. Texas Tech Red Raiders – ~$28 M (estimated)
Strong Big 12 spend tied to high paying deals, including massive guarantees for recruits/elite prospects.
Sounds like you need to start buying A LOT more chicken tenders.

It’s Californias fault. They pushed all this shite. Once the precedent is set its game over for all the schools.

It might be enough for 2026, but the needle is going to keep moving higher and higher.
