"Bayou Traditions budgeted $8 million for the roster this season, though it is not expected to reach that number, according to a source with knowledge of the collective who was granted anonymity in order to speak freely. Last year, the third-party group allocated around $4 million for the team."

“Retention is the biggest key in all of this, in my opinion. At LSU, we're gonna lay that foundation through that high school recruiting base and then supplement it where we may need in other areas.”

"the median amount that SEC collectives will spend on football teams next season is $10 million. He estimated the top end will be $13-15 million, while the median throughout the Power Four conferences will be $4.5 million."

NIL hasn't changed much. LSU always has paid a lot more than us. The portal is the real problem.

Well on the road dawgs tour, Selmon mentioned some changes with NIL around next Fall (2025). Maybe that levels the field?

However I'm not sure what he is referring to.... is there legislation coming down the pipe? Or the ncaa is dropping some new rules?

How much income or profit does the football program generate ?
I'm not sure. But according to the Knight-Commission, State athletics as a whole was $10 million in the red in 2023 and $7milliom in the black in 2022. So I doubt football has a big net gain any year.

LSU's money folks aren't jiving with Kelly. Thats the reason they only have $8M for this year's football roster. When motivated properly, they can go way above that.

I wouldn't believe any published NIL numbers I see anywhere, either for athletes' earnings or for NIL collective totals. But I would be shocked if our totals were more than half what LSU's are.

For our athletic department as a whole to be anywhere near the black means football is making a lot of money.

I wish nil didn’t get started until there were regulations in place. Now, they’ve been caught with their pants down and look really stupid because nil has done whatever it wants and it’s a damn circus.
