This is more of what it should be, however it is not what it actually is. A lot of those schools listed in the top 10 are not embracing NIL, while schools like Ole Miss and Arkansas are over performing.
Talking with some of the people in the know at OM, that is about half of what is invested in NIL right now.

would be nice to have more transparency into nil if it’s going to be the way players are paid moving forward but as it stands, there is none.
Yep, they say:
To present the data on estimated funding available from NIL Collectives we rely on data from multiple sources as well as certain assumptions regarding the data. Unlike public Universities, virtually all NIL Collectives are privately controlled and have no obligation to publicly report information such as their annual fundraising or how funds are spent. Additionally, most NIL collectives are very protective of their funding.
Accordingly, our estimates are not what specific collectives receive in contributions. Instead, we are providing what we believe to be a reasonable estimate of funding a collective(s) supporting the school might be expected to generate in funding, given the school’s historic level of support from boosters.
Which is a fancy way of saying it's a guestimate.

Which is hilarious when they note them literally down to the dollar.
And they don't include Vanderbilt — if NIL collectives are privately controlled and you're just guessing what they have anyway, why can't you simply guess for them too?

lol...your AD was going to fire Cal but couldn't scrape up the money for the buyout and then hire another coach. Kentucky couldn't afford Oates buyout so you quickly moved on. lol...what a shitshow
I love these shots coming from a school that:
Fired Bobby Petrino
Hired John L Smith
Hired Bert
Hired Chad Morris
Hired Pit Boss
Rehired Petrino
You all defined shitshow!

Florida probably ranks even lower if private schools were included. List is legit. But, Florida is trash, though.
Florida is not in the top 20 of NIL. This is a bad list.

These "estimates" aren't worth the free bits they were printed with. You think these NIL's publishing accurate data.
I got a bridge to sell you.

Yeah, this board would have you believe LSU is Vanderbilt level poor. In actuality, it’s 3rd best in the nation. Aggie lies I guess

OM was at 12.5mm area 2 years ago and has over 8k annual givers not including corporate donors...I personally know several that are 1k-2k a year that never gave to the athletic department fund...we are probably 15+ easy now

9. Clemson -- $15,258,374

don't be misled - they combined their individual collectives and partnered with IPTAY to form a singular entity end of FY2023 - which bases its total valuation to include IPTAY funds so it looks impressive to sell to recruits/current athletes -
but most all of the IPTAY monies continue to be allocated for existing means to operate and not to NIL directly - CD Davies is using smoke & mirrors to achieve this figure - it's a nice marketing ploy - and it will indeed fool people into thinking they have more to give than they actually do - or can - or will -
