I know NIL figures aren't always that reliable...but was surprised to see us that high up. I guess part of it was the sheer number we had to bring in this year to reload the roster.

Updated: Here are the CBB programs that are "estimated" to have spent the most NIL money on incoming transfers this offseason:

Indiana 10.1 million
USC 9.9m
Iowa 9.0m
Michigan 8.9m
Kentucky 8.8m
St. John's 8.4m
Baylor 8.1m
Miami 8.1m
Virginia 7.9m
Texas A&M 7.6m

These are… https://t.co/kD1bLHz7TH

BYU?

Those lists are stupid. Nobody knows the real numbers schools are spending.

Highly misleading.

1) estimated value not actual payment.
2) does not included retained players only new acquisitions through portal.
3) does not include payments to incoming freshman through normal recruiting.

Composing a spend list that focuses solely on 1 of 3 spend areas [and then using estimated value] is intentionally misleading & designed solely to drive clicks. Represents everything that is nonsensical about modern "reporting".

that's what happens when you have to replace an entire 13-man roster.
