This is an interesting conversation. I work with people at many different universities across the country and have had a lot of NIL discussions. It seems to me that very few people know what any single school is spending down to the dollar and probably nobody out there knows what every school is spending.

I would be very wary of people claiming to know how much each school is spending because a lot of this happens in secret.

If you want my educated guess as to where Syracuse fits into the big picture of spending ... when it comes to the ACC there is Duke who spends way more than anybody else in the country, has since the 80s, and is in their own class. Then there are a couple schools who spend more than the rest and a couple schools who spend less. Most of the league, including SU is in a big bunch that spend similar amounts to everybody else.

That's why you'll see most schools say, and have heard people say about SU, we are top 4 or 5 in spending.  Its not really wrong or a lie. But being top 4 is basically the same as being bottom 4.  There is for practical purposes a big spending tie in the middle of the league that fluctuates from year to year based on if you over or under spend based on roster requirements for that particular year.
