It’s far more widespread than SEC.

Remember cam newton and his uncle asking for $180k to play? A player like

You think Kentucky has a better roster than us? Yikes not sure I agree with u

Money given by 1 person does not equal the total amount able to hand out.

So someone donated $10M to be divided evenly between football & basketball?

I'm guessing they're are more football donations in general.

Mark Comer of the RBC said something similar a few weeks ago on Criddle’s show.

Seems like QB, LT, and a high end pass rusher would be worth individual deals

Paying players isn't something new, as players were being paid back when I went

That’s partly because few we’re paying players

That doesn’t mean they have the same amount. That’s based on one donation.

So football should prioritize positions - QB, OT, DE, and so on
