You are in control of our NIL budget of $52 million...

If we spent the entire amount on football we’d still be in the bottom half of the SEC in spending. There are two sports that we’ve proven that we can compete in nationally, Baseball and WBB. I would be top 3 in spending in the SEC in both sports. MBB I personally don’t care about but I’d try to at least spend around the SEC average in order to be competitive. The rest would go to football because let’s be honest the difference between 25 million and 50 million is negligible when we’re playing against teams spending 150 million.
But football is really the only one that matters. Baseball for us a bit, but football is what really matters.

across baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, football - how do you allocate $50 million of those dollars. I'm assuming $2 million goes to the other sports.

Football gets $30 million
Men's Basketball gets $13 million
Baseball get's $6 million
Women's Basketball gets $1 million
Women's Volleyball, $25 million (must be hot)
Women's Soccer, $25 million (must be hot)
Split $2m to the loser sports.

Texas and A&M might spend more than that on Uber.

What would you choose? My thoughts are that just a portion of the 52 million would allow us to be nationally competitive in WBB and Baseball but the entire 52 million isn’t going to make our football team competitive because there are so many teams out there spending so much more.
Willfully ignorant poor ole. $52M would be the most expensive roster in CFB this year.
