Message: [QUOTE="GEAinAustin, post: 4393970, member: 12191"] I live in Austin, home of the U of Texas. The revenue, as most of you know, of the athletic dept. exceeds 200 million annually and Forbes has labeled the Longhorns as Texas Inc. I can only speak about what I know. Texas Tech's NIL deal is 25,000 per 2 semesters= 1 year. For years, wealthy schools, not quite on the scale as it is now , have through donors given top players perks ,as no show jobs. ESPN has also partnered with the school in the Longhorn Network paying 130 million over 10 years to the school for that marketing business. As 2 super conferences have been formed, collegiate sports have become the haves and the have nots. Remember there are only 30 schools athletic departments that operate in the black. There may come a day when scholarships are accompanied with an additional financial contract. [/QUOTE]
