@CaringThinkr@techfan27@SheetsG23 It’s even funnier when you know that there is a roster cap of 25 players. Whoever their numbers guy is failed them lol
@JBMT_REAL@EmCochranetv This is not accurate with the transfer numbers. And if it was accurate, the statistics are wrong. The guy who put it out there has since deleted it and posted a new one. Even though I am not sure the roster sizes are correct as I believe TN has 22 players.
@SAABartholomew@AustinDavis45@Maren_Angus Oh for sure, I mean makes sense, they bring the revenue. Also bet they’re getting most of the money from the school’s collectives. I would bet no other school has paid anywhere near 1 mil for a softball player. And if they did, we’d know lol
@SAABartholomew@AustinDavis45@Maren_Angus Ah yes, I forgot about the direct revenue sharing. But let’s be honest here, are schools actually using that to pay for softball players lol
@AustinDavis45@Maren_Angus Again, a university cannot pay a player NIL. A donor decided they wanted to provide funds and did so. These schools with higher operating costs are very successful programs. With Tech’s recent success, the university might provide more money for their operating budget next year.
@AustinDavis45@Maren_Angus Where an operating budget and NIL money come from are two different sources. Operating budget includes salaries, equipment, travel expenses, etc. This is determined by the university. Universities do not directly fund NIL, that is collectives. Tech is not paying players.
@AustinDavis45@Maren_Angus Most university collective funds don’t spend much on softball given it’s a non revenue sport, players get a lot of NIL deals from outside brands. What Techs collective has invested in softball is quite unheard of.
