Greder: The U’s total NIL fund is roughly $2.5 million, so an 8-5 season can be considered a quality return on investment.

Per Greder:

Over the previous two years, the Gophers’ name, image and likeness (NIL) funds have grown from next to nothing to tangible, but it is believed to still lag behind most of its Big Ten brethren. Minnesota’s football NIL total is approximately $2 to $2.5 million, the Pioneer Press learned during bowl week in North Carolina.

How the Gophers’ football program has been overachieving

The U’s NIL fund is roughly $2.5 million, so an 8-5 season can be considered a quality return on investment.

I’ll bet it’s way more than that all in total

Didn't they do a million dollar match? That's $2M there. So you would think there would be more than $2M.

If Perich really did get $250,000 it almost has to be. Ersery certainly had leverage. Brosmer, Darius Taylor you sure would think were compensated similarly at minimum.. Even 10 guys at $100k is $1,000,000. 20 guys at $50k is another million. Lotta guys getting paid something and 50 guys endorsing DTA seem satisfied. Logic would seem to suggest it is more than $2.5 million. Maybe not the Illinois $5 million but more than 2 whatever.

Lol. We are a huge school with wealthy alumni and for some reason there is a disconnect. We should be at least double of where Illinois is at. And for that matter we should be at least in the middle of the Big Ten.
