Skill-position value over replacement, summed
Spend is a band on purpose: collective money is not public, so anyone quoting an exact payroll is guessing. Roster strength covers skill positions only, from the same college fantasy model behind our 2026 rankings.

The money behind the program
Rev-share layer (est.)
$15.3M
School money shared with athletes under the House settlement cap, football's estimated slice
Third-party NIL layer (mid)
$12.9M
Collective and endorsement money on top, midpoint of our estimate
Athletics revenue
$235.5M
Total athletics revenue from the school's federal EADA filing, public record
How the numbers are built: revenue-share layer plus third-party NIL layer, calibrated against published benchmarks and our ledger of reported deals. Full methodology on the roster spend page and the NIL rankings page. What goes in is public; the exact weights are ours.
