Can college football really afford to pay its players?

In this video, I break down the numbers behind how Power Five football programs spend their money — and what it would actually take to compensate athletes like the pros.

📊 We compare:
+ College football vs. NFL revenue splits
+ Where the money actually goes in major college programs
+ How scholarships stack up to salaries
+ Why the current model is going to change drastically

💰 In the NFL, ~90% of the money goes to the players.
🏈 In college football? Not even close.

If you’re an AD, coach, collective operator, or just trying to understand how NIL and revenue sharing are reshaping the future of college sports — this is the breakdown you need.

👉 Watch to the end for the real math behind the future of athlete pay in college football.
