      Yeah those numbers aren’t public. That’s why we get polls of what front office types think programs are spending and very few actual numbers reported.

        It will be interesting to see how long this goes on before some sort of regulations are put in place. I wouldn’t trust this info 100% but the athletic just released a similar list. The trouble is we know for a fact teams like Texas, Michigan and Ohio state are probably spending north of 50 million on rosters. While a team like Kansas is probably spending 10-15 million. Eventually it’s gonna take away some of the parity in the sport. Everyone but the Big 10 and Sec are gonna turn into the minor leagues in a sense. Heck one could argue they already have.

          @kjayhawks2.0 KU number is slightly over that but not by much... Of course the coach combo we have and the stadium chews into things but still.

          Athletic article is good, it is at least educated guess stuff.

          Some change is coming if the Save College Sports thing happens.

            LSU $42.7 mil
            Oregon $42.3
            Ohio St $38.0 mil
            Ole Mis is at $35.0 mil and Indiana is at $33.0 mil
            In the Big 12 Tech is $35.9 mil and Houston is at $26.9 mil
            Kansas is ranked 11th in the conference, spending $19.7 mil

              @JoJoAndMe Those kind of numbers will ruin college sports. It's sickening that an organization that drove people nuts for their strictness in maintaining the amateur status of athletes has let it go so far to the other extreme.

                Oregon paid all that to lose to Oklahoma State

                  What KU cannot overcome is a QB who is, sadly, just not P4 level. Okay against lesser competition, but less than ineffectual against real defenses...

                    Hangin' in there so far. 14-21... I missed the most of the first half except the last minute, but what I've seen so far, Marshall looks GREAT. Rock Chalk!

                        Pretty pissed that my ESPN+ subscription doesn't work for this game.

                          These greedy sons of mothers who run these networks are the worst leeches in society, and that's saying something.

                            24-27 hanging in there. Running game is bad on both sides of the ball. BUT... Marshall is making some good passes.

                                I'd kick the FG since we need it anyways.

                                        I thought the D looked better so far this year, but man this was not the showing I was expecting

                                            If there is one bright spot out of this Marshall may be figuring out the speed of the game. If the offense can get clicking we may win another game or two.
