Texas Actually Spending $35-$40 Million On Its Football Roster This Season? Welcome To The New Era
The Longhorns are using the same strategy as other schools, by frontloading deals before the House Settlement is put into place.

On Wednesday, the influence of collectives was put on full display, as Kirk Bohls from the Houston Chronicle reported that Texas will spend upward of $40 million on its football roster for the 2025 season.
Here is the part I hate:
As we prepare for the upcoming House Settlement to be approved (maybe), there is going to be a massive shift in how college athletes will be paid. While the majority of the money will come from the university, with contracts signed by the players and schools, there will still be money flowing from these NIL collectives across the country.
I guess I was under the impression that revenue sharing would stop some of this non-sense and bring stability to the situation but if collectives are still going to be able to give NIL deals then we are stuck in a vicious cycle. At some point these kids are going to need to be put under contract and give up their ability to transfer in the process or its just going to be a big mess and people will start to lose interest.
