The IU NIL figure is pretty accurate. They mention that Oregon is probably low, particularly with Phil Knight in play, but not sure how much of his money is going toward NIL and not the university athletic fund (2 separate entities).
I believe IU has enough NIL to keep their current roster intact most years and the necessary funds to land the productive players from the lower conferences that appeal to Cig. I believe in certain instances we can come up with the money for a splash transfer or two when needed ie Fernando Mendoza or someone like that. No I don't believe IU will ever directly compete with the Ohio State's or the Michigan's of the world in the portal every year but IU has more than a competitive NIL base that should only grow stronger with consistent results.
Walk on who beat out every P4 transfer. He’s a dog.
That's how I see it. I assume we'll allocate rev share 75-80% to FB like most schools, and that will be very helpful to close the payroll gap since the rev share is capped. If we can inch our FB NIL to be top-15 or 20 over the next few years, that plus rev share should put us in a pretty nice spot competitively. 13 months ago I could not have dreamed of being in such a position.
And he has 2 yrs. of eligibility left. Plays with an edge.
I do believe that man has upon his shoulder the chip that Cig likes.
Those people aren't getting much of a return for that kind of investment. Give it to Moren.
