$25K per scholarship player per year. That's the same payroll as Texas Tech's football team's player payroll.

I believe at least a small group of high-performers get a lot more (mid 6 figures) or have done so in this most recent year. "NIL"...or whatever.

Ohio State is targeting $13M per year. Penn State/Franklin are on the record for wanting similar for payroll. Harbaugh thinks Michigan could do 2x that. Locksley (Maryland) says he could do well with 1/2 of the $13M Ryan Day wants.
