What is each MU player making before state and federal taxes in NIL money this year?

Going to leave this relevant tweet Tony Altimore posted last year below:

Actually, that article would not be relative to an NIL discussion because NIL payments are not funded by the schools themselves, and therefore would not be part of those schools' budgets.

Correct.  NIL comes from external sources.  The number in the chart is salaries for coaches, salaries for staff, travel, rent to Fiserv, travel for recruiting, etc.

Most probably already knew we were up there but it's still excellent to see us up there on that list. Some schools on there need to start seeing a better return on their investment.

It's not a consistent measurement. Don't get too hung up on those numbers except to know MU supports bball well.

Like what? The return seems pretty good IMO.

Yep

Agreed. AD budgets, especially per sport breakdowns are all engineered. Not reliable, or consistent in how they are applied at all.

I heard a while back that MU brings in about $1.5M from NIL proceeds.  No idea how the dollars are spread out but I suspect the majority goes to the upper classmen.

So, how much bread can players like Kam, Chase, and Stevie score at MU, hey?

Probably 3/4 if that NIL sum, if you sub in Jop for Chase.

The remaining 1/4 goes to the younger classes.

Complete conjecture, but it's been stated that upperclassmen take far and away the biggest cut.
I'd be willing to bet Kam gets very close to what TyKo got, and so on and so forth, with their own personal NIL deals just sweetening that pot

Based on my conversations with folks that are heavily involved with NIL, this is pretty accurate.

What's nice is that even the walk-ons get a little beer money.

I was told a story about one of the current underclassmen whose father tried to negotiate a significantly higher NIL deal during the recruitment process.  Shaka basically told him, "that's the amount that Freshmen at Marquette get.  If your son wants more money, I am sure that there are other teams that will get that for him."  The player ended up calling Shaka back saying, "Don't listen to my dad.  I want to play for YOU!"

Gtown is 15th???

Mad respect for whoever that is.

The way Shaka does it clearly works for his system and helps foster a culture that keeps players for four years. I love it.

You'd be surprised where they finished in 2023.
