Looks like we are in about the 70th or so percentile. Meanwhile Minnesota looks to be in the 20th percentile. Our ROI must improve if we are being sold on the idea that more money means more wins.

Oregon got beat by a team with the budget of a local church pot luck so how do the analists explain that?
I’m not buying Colorado’s tiny NIL figure. Do tiny man purses not count in the tabulation?
So the only teams on our schedule that spend more than us are Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana. That means we should go 9-3, isn’t that right Matt Rhule?
Something doesn't add up here.... Not buying these numbers. If we are actually wasting this much money on the roster we currently have, then Rhule needs to go.
A billion dollar NIL donation from Buffett could change all of Nebraska athletics. He wouldn't even miss it.
as an investment does it really make much sense for a tangible healthy return though?
It will for Nebraska athletics. What does he care? He's worth 146 billion. Is he going to take it with him when he dies? Or give it all to Bill Gates for lab grown meat and mosquitoe farms?
Gates
If I'm not wrong , Gates Foundation gets most of it.It will for Nebraska athletics. What does he care? He's worth 146 billion. Is he going to take it with him when he dies? Or give it all to Bill Gates for lab grown meat and mosquitoe farms?
No, he actually cut off gates foundation in July. He’s earmarked the money to four family run foundations now.
Played bingo at the Club last night with a friend and neighbor who is a Linfield College grad and big Duck supporter. Before he moved here and to his winter home in Arizona he had season tickets for the Duck games. He is pretty perplexed by the performance of team so far.
They pay big bucks for a roster, but they still have to have the desire to win. Seems a few of them are just happy to show up with nice gear on and then go to the party afterward.
Peed family already donates big money. Ricketts family maybe?
Even using that, it's 50% more than two teams Nebraska isn't competing with.
I'd say the ROI is a bit lacking!
Peeds step up for sure.

Met a guy at a party about 10 years ago. I gave him a bunch of shite for his Mecheatin shirt. Turned out it was Chip Davis. He lives in Omaha but obvo not giving any cash to DONU
What would change? We had the #1 qb in the nation and he was wasted to the point of having his body broken. I am sure you are familiar with the idea of throwing money at a problem. Lets spend more money on schools, or the inner city, or drug abuse and it will fix the problem. Not if the decision makers are incompetent. We need a complete change of the entire football ecosystem from the top down to the bottom...then when the system is efficient and competent, then load up on money.
Buffet would miss a nickel if he lost it.
NIL Tracker 2026: NIL Rankings & Spending by School
Compare 2026 NIL rankings and estimated roster spending for all 357 Division I programs. See program totals, athlete estimates, sources, and methodology.

No validity to this. Nobody reaching out to 68 teams through “sources” nationally has any accuracy. 99% of the posters on here know someone and we are clueless. You think some guy trying to get hits in his site has insight from 68 teams? it’s a trash article
Don't bother. We go through this every couple months. The guy is 99% percent dead and people still hold out some weird fantasy he will be T Boone Pickens. Ain't happening.
Hbk is furiously scrolling social media at the moment trying to find some way to cry about this new development.
Good question, call the Husker athletic fund and theI’ll give you that answer.
As an individual you can donate to any program you prefer and it’s tax deducible.
"A couple things I can tell you as someone who contributed to this project:
— Complaints in the comments about lack of ROI are unfounded. Wait at least until this season plays out. The figures in this project are for 2026 rosters — and the rosters only. Not money that goes to any other part of the football budget. Not calculations for the 2026 calendar year or 26-27 fiscal year. Money paid to players in previous seasons is not factored here.
— Some previous estimates or claims that Nebraska is spending in the low-to-mid 20M range mathematically make little sense. It maxes out rev share (roughly $14M for football) and got $7.5M in new NIL money for this roster from Playfly. (The subject of a CSC battle.) So Nebraska is starting in the $22M range before its football players secure a single outside deal that doesn’t involve the school’s MMR partner."
Apparently Oregon needs to stop tipping its plays. Not the first team to expose this
I think Werner donated substantially but I could be wrong. When I win the lottery NU might get a few hundred. Not gonna give squat to a state supported school with the administrative bloat we have.
Never going to beat UT, A&M, LSU and Texas Tech as huge oil money. Unless of course oil is found in NE. Strange though how ND State continues to get good athletes and wins and wins. Even winning now in the big leagues. Cannot image who wants to live in Fargo but obviously something going right. Plus quite a number of players in the NFL. May even be more than N.
