I see you ignored my NIL facts
NIL isn't on the athletic departments books. One of the pro-Deion arguments is that if (when) he leaves CU will be in much better shape. NIL doesn't impact the AAs budget. And without Deion around to goose NIL, it will diminish significantly. How much it may help in recruiting means little if he doesn't deliver results on the field. Businesses aren't stupid - they aren't going to fund NIL if it doesn't improve their sales.
And reported amounts aren't "facts". Let's see the contracts between the players and the businesses and the players' 1099s and W-2s.
I don't really give a crap about any of this, but there is nothing I enjoyed more in my career than beating those ignorant of business financials over the head with actual data. This is interesting because y'all are pointing at sources that are pure marketing BS - conflating "value" with revenue, verbal statements instead of audited financials, etc.
I'll take a look at your NIL "facts". Likely just more marketing numbers that can't be proven.
