🚨 LIVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL TALK:
- LSU vs. Ole Miss is already turning into a chess match, college football roster spending is exploding, the Big Ten has some explaining to do with this week’s schedule, and are we judging Texas QB Arch Manning by a completely different standard than every other quarterback in the country?
- Which draft-eligible college QBs look like sure-fire NFL QBs?
đź’° HOW MUCH DOES A COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROSTER REALLY COST?
- College football’s roster-building arms race continues to accelerate.
- Reporting from The Athletic has highlighted just how dramatically the market has changed, with industry figures saying elite 2026 rosters are now reaching the $35 million to $40 million-plus range when revenue sharing and outside NIL compensation are considered.
- What does that mean for the future of the sport? Can programs realistically keep escalating spending every offseason? And are we reaching the point where success in college football requires a roster budget that looks more like professional sports?
