Missouri Tabs $31 Million in NIL Spending

[CJ Vogel]

Came across this article and found it very interesting.

There have been dollar amounts and reports regarding athletic departments across the country and what they have been spending since the calendar year began. Of course, the Houston Chronicle report about Texas Football comes to mind with how much the current roster spends, as well as the report that Texas Tech has a collective payroll of $55 million across all of its sports as well.

Missouri is not a school competing for many national championships. Yet, the price tag remains very high.

• Football: T-3rd in SEC (5–3 record)
• M Basketball: 8th in SEC (10–8)
• W Basketball: 13th in SEC (3–13)
• Baseball: Last in SEC (3–27)
• Softball: Last in SEC (6–18)

All this to say, this is the price tag in current athletics for an average athletics department.

Do you think in the future schools will have to disclose how much they are spending per sport and how much each player is getting?

I don't see a way it's ever enforced. At least not truthfully.

$31 million just doesn't buy you much these days in college sports, if Missouri's results are any indication 🙂  Now in my day that much money would have definitely done the trick ...

I look at it like a salary cap. I think there will be reports and the numbers will be released. If they aren't, what's the point of saying there's a limit?

On the other side of this is the clear implication that bag-dropping will resume. If Missouri is spending $31 mil before the cap, how will they have any competitive teams under $20 mil? They'll have to drop bags. All P4 teams will have to do that. And we will not find out about bag-dropping.
