The NFL Salary Cap for 2026 is $301 Million.
Ohio State is also doing a $125 Million upgrade to their Football Facilities.
Granted it's an Athletic Budget, but you know most of it is going towards football.

Holy Amateur Sports Batman !

I never said it did.
Upgrade your reading comprehension skills.
Apparently you ignored the part where I clarified that it was an Athletics Budget (AKA, Not all going to Football, Obviously not all going to NIL).
Not sure if you're a moron or a douchebag (Most likely both)

What does the athletic budget have to do with how much the players should get?

The packers (which I would assume are on the lower end of this) reported an operating cost of 634 million in 2024

Much closer to an apples to apples comparison, albeit still not perfect due to other sports being in the mix for OSU
