We also must keep in mind that schools spending and NIL are really two different buckets of money.
Yes, these schools are paying out 25 million in revenue sharing to athletes. There is really no way around spending that money from the school budget to the players that are bringing in 100s of millions in revenue.
But the big money NIL we are discussing is coming from sources outside the school itself. Beyond the revenue share the schools aren't able to pay players.

What you say is true, but I suspect many of the BMD that are looking to help the football team would give the money to the school, instead of the NIL collectives, if they thought that would help the program more.
For example let's say Alabama starts losing players because they fall behind in the facilities arms race, or are unable to attract top coaches because they can't afford them. Most donors have a limited amount to give, so many of the dollars going into NIL are resulting in less donations to thevathletics department.

That is probably true as well. But even then, those athletic specific donations probably don't help the overall bottom line at a school like USC who is having trouble with the budget on the academic side.
For bama, who had a big loss on the athletics side it would be a help.

If the school(USC) is making money on the athletics side, but losing money on the academic side, then I wouldn't think the athletics budget would be a significant target for cuts, although if USC decided to part ways with Riley, coming up with the buyout money may be a challenge.
It is right in between the Royal Mile and and Johnnie Walker. Probably a 7-10 minute walk from both.

Gotta tell you, if Texas can just hold on to what they currently have then I'm perfectly content with this class. Holding on to coveted DL is my biggest concern.

This can't be a serious post. That is just pure idiocy right there.
Basically passive aggressive posts saying the Uga mods knew about the allegations and pending charges a week ago and didn't post it. Then uga clapping back saying they didn't and how dare the Texas people say that. Followed by Texas mods posting text message screenshots.
You know adults acting like 10 year olds online. The usual.

Geez, I knew about it a week ago.
I spent too much timing reading the threads about this early this morning.
Basically on July 9th, the date of the dangerous driving by Calicut and shots fired by Phillips, Eric Nahlin posted on IT something along the lines of "A target Texas "missed" on just did something that'll ruin his career". That is all Nahlin ever said about it. Other posters heard about what Calicut was accused of and started filling in the gaps on the message board.
UGA boards caught wind of this and started accusing Nahlin of Slander/Libel as there was no report out at that time. Their mods kinda down played anything at that point. A UGA poster even created an account on Inside Texas and started a thread asking Nahlin for updates on the accusations.
When the report did come out, Texas posters and IT staff started dunking on the UGA guy who had popped up on IT. Basically, hey idiot, this is what we were referring too, we weren't committing Libel.
The UGA boards were made at their own mods for not saying anything and those mods stood by their reporting that there wasn't anything to report until yesterday and that they didn't know anything about it soon. They also said Nahlin had called them and sounded excited about the news about Calicut.
That prompted Nahlin to share screen shots between himself and the UGA mods with the intent to prove two things. 1: The UGA mods knew about what was happening because Nahlin had been texting with them about it. 2. Nahlin was not excited (at least via text) about what happened - "I hope its nothing tragic".
UGA mods then said, well, I can't remember all my texts and phone calls but never backed down on accusing Nahlin and started talking about guys like Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton instead.
It was quite petty overall, I do think Nahlin needed to stick up for himself given what he was being accused of but it could have been handled with more class by all involved.
Not to belabor this story but it is important to know:
Phillips, the other guy in the car with Calicut who fired shots at the other car, was shot this past weekend. At a pool party and somebody opened fire on the gorup, killing Phillips and injuring two girls.
Really sad situation for all involved.
