What was our actual NIL this past season?

I thought we were around 8. Now expecting 9-10? What happened to this major NIL bump centered around Melo and friends? Granted, Gerry will have us better regardless… but, doesn’t seem like a big boost.

We have more than 9 or 10. We will have at least 12. The question is if we can boost it up from there. That, I don't know. But it won't be from lack of trying. one thing they will never do is walk around with chests puffed out and say they are flush with money. No one donates if you don't act like you need it.

clarify whether you all mean pure NIL or NIL+revshare

We had 4 for rev share and 4-5 for NIL. This year we have 4 and right now for rev share, through Lobdells group, and one from Vegas. We are at around 10 right now not including the Melo and other related contributions.

I’ve heard there’s optimism we can get to 13 plus. To Dasher’s point 12 is probably the safe low number and if anyone quotes the Norlander article again they deserve to be slapped. Do the math yourself. We are already past 9 with the public info out there.

NIL is, well, NIL, which (I believe) is all donations. Revenue share is the amount of the NCAA-mandated revenue the school can provide - each school has $20.5M to apportion to all their sports. This is provided by the school, but can be offset by donations.
