OSU paid $20 million in football NIL

[Mark Wheeler]

Ohio State's NIL paid out $20 million to football last year.

As player pay reaches new heights, how will Ohio State navigate unchartered waters?

The Buckeyes produced the largest athletic budget in the nation last year. Soon enough, the school will be allowed to directly pay its players. How will Ryan Day and the OSU brass handle that new world?

We have more NIL deals than them or anyone else.

Impressive, but do you know how many $ 498 deals equates to? That will indicate how well we are doing.

That counts every player that we give $1 to.

I'll bet we don't spend anywhere near $20 million on football.

Maybe half that.

Everything about NIL is so secretive that as I posted a while back, my thoughts on it are uninformed - I have no clue what players are making or what FlaVictorius' mission is. Perhaps their goal is to provide every UF athlete with some sort of payment.

I would think that money is better spent giving 100 difference makers much more money than handing out whatever payment they are to almost 500 athletes.
