For JUST the starters… it would cost:
$18.7 million per year.

That’s the price of paying every starter like they’re in the 95th percentile of Power Conference NIL earnings at their position — basically a full roster of 95-OVR players.

Offense (11 players – $10.3M): 
1 QB, 1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 OT, 2 OG, 1 C
Defense (11 players – $7.8M): 
2 DE, 2 DT, 2 OLB, 1 ILB, 2 CB, 2 S
Special Teams (3 players – $0.5M): 
1 K, 1 P, 1 LS

All numbers come from Opendorse Market Intel, built on more than $500M in verified NIL transactions — the same data trusted by the biggest programs in college football.

Oh, and most teams are paying 75+ players… so even if backups or third stringers are paid more modestly — the full roster would still cost 2x this amount. 👀👀👀
