According to an interesting article I came across the other day, Georgia is 5th in total NIL budget at $17.5 million, behind only Texas ($23 m), Ohio St., Oregon and Texas A&M. I wouldn’t take the article as gospel, but it does make some interesting points. One thing it addresses is the idea that some lower budget teams elect to go all in on a certain player or two and win some recruiting battles over teams with larger budgets who spread their money out over a larger group of high end players. I’m not sure how true the numbers are, but the thought process behind the article interesting.

I doubt anyone knows the real truth. They don’t have to be reported publicly, so it’s all second hand info from agents, players and who knows where else.

Anyone giving you numbers is lying. They have no idea. Staff here have a better idea probably but, outsiders have no clue.

To be honest, I don't know why we think we don't have the money we do. It's not a matter of having the money. It's about how we choose to spend it.
No, we don't have mega donors like TT and the U, but the difference is that Kirby clearly wants to build a sustainable culture. That's why he doesn't get into bidding wars past a reasonable amount. Because it f***s with your culture and undermines your long term success.
If you do what some of these other schools are doing buying veteran rentals for 1 year, do you really think they can keep that up? Don't you think that'll only inflate the cost of retention and spiral upwards? Hell, we got Ty Simpson getting offered 6.5!
Some of y'all want us to get into bidding wars to turn into a one-and-done rather than being a Top 3 contender with a real chance to win ith every year.

All of these numbers that no one knows just get repeated enough times until people forget that no one knew them to begin with. No one know anything.

I would believe Georgia’s total roster spending is somewhere near the top due to what we spend to retain players. I don’t think it’s near the top on new portal imports.Article is only for January transfers, probably based on estimated spends for transfers in.

We’re either getting out-recruited or out-spent and neither one is good
