I saw 9th/10either way they finished well above their NiL budget.
Kentucky, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas, A&M, Ole Miss, OU, Miss St are all higher and this just for teams that made the tournament.
This article mentions how they are growing to be top 3 after the success this year.
Report: Florida basketball to have one of the ‘top basketball NIL budgets in the SEC’
According to On3 national basketball reporter Joe Tipton, Florida basketball will be among the top of the SEC in terms of NIL budgets this offseason.
All these numbers are estimates and might be off since nothing is actually reported but I think it is fair to say UF was mid pack for basketball NIL this year in the SEC.
I see they used 22-23 estimates now which is strange but UF has not had ton of success and the other schools aren’t going down so who knows but they have not been spending at the same levels as other top programs.
Again nothing is official and there are lots of reasons to inflate everything on all sides. Do Utah St and CSU really have 4-5M budgets annually? That seems high based on the players and other things you hear.
My point is still you have to grow your budget to be sustainable like UF has or you need long term commitments from donors that will keep spending even without success (like Texas and OU).

Dueling research.
The following is taken from a Perplexity AI search. It used ON3, USA today and Yahoo Sports as it's primary sources.
"The University of Florida ranks among the top programs in the SEC for NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) efforts, particularly in basketball. According to On3's Joe Tipton, Florida's basketball NIL budget is expected to be one of the highest in the SEC, trailing only Arkansas and Kentucky13. This strong financial commitment enhances Florida's ability to attract elite transfers and maintain competitiveness in college basketball1."
But it's easy to go back and forth with NIL Stats because very few know the exact amount that's being spent at each program. It's guessing and innuendo.
My point is for those of us who believed we could compete on a National level this belief should just about be abandoned. The fact our new coach took several hundred thousand dollars less than his market value in order to release booster money for players says volumes. The wealthy in this community will not support NIL to the point we can get the players we'll need to compete in the big time. We are rapidly moving to a point that we will be like Bozeman, Montana with Montana State. Their fans fully understand they don't have the resources to compete with the nationally relevant programs. They are happy to compete for the occasional Big Sky Tournament win and the resulting 14th seed. With the new MW light we won't be quite there, but we'll be so close it won't really make a difference.

Everyone outside of the P4 with very few exceptions will be Montana ST. TV revenue going towards players is a complete game changer. 20 million plus in 2025 and 30 million plus a year soon after going directly towards the players. Then the NIL money on top of that?? Most of these players are going to be millionaires by the time they finish college. 4 years of $$. Some will be multi millionaires and never have a chance to play at the pro level. Just a solid college player.
NIL is so fkcn dumb. Just allow NBA or NFL teams to sign kids like 16 or older and let them pay for their development in college, overseas, etc.
We start paying players was dumb. Team shouldn’t be able to profit off of their names without having to pay them a significant chunk, but you can put that in an escrow and pay it when they graduate. The argument was a scholarship wasn’t enough yet 95% of the country would be ecstatic if their kids qualified for an athletic scholarship and never got anything more than that.
There needs to be proof of contracted work for compensation. This is being paid for "NIL", while there is no actual use of the NIL.
If they can get TV ads, print ads, appearances, or whatever. But just getting paid handouts right now has nothing to do with NIL and is basically a work around for schools paying players which has been at least illegal.
If a player is getting a national TV spot, sure pay him millions of dollars. But there needs to be some proof of "work" for that pay.
Otherwise they should have a cap and let the school give out stipend for play. But those should have contracts as well.
If college sports is basically professional sports, it needs to work like professional sports. This current situation ain't it.

Once they made pay for play legal, even with some sort of framework … they’d already opened Pandora’s box, no putting the cat back in the bag. The NCAA had enough problems handling clearinghouse, not enough staff, too many cases … they never had a lot of investigators for improprieties. Once they made it ok, it became ok. They cannot monitor, they don’t want to monitor. Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t rat …. In the end the richest will thrive.
Hard to predict what will happen because there is no comparison. 1) Pro sports would be the logical comparison but they mostly have salary caps and multi-year contracts. 2) We have no idea the length of time a billionaire will support a team that fails to get to the sweet 16 or higher - one year, 2 years, 10 years? 3) will there be a couple of Billionaires who support a G5 or lower team with unlimited funds just for giggles? 4)impossible to predict what media will do. Will there be a joining of three or four media giants and they buy the rights to the power 4 and just exclude the rest? Would that really make a difference?
Without change, the game we followed and loved is nearly dead. Without change ( some structure to lengthen contracts, some financial leveling or us getting a P4 invite) we won't be watching BB in the Thomas and Mack in 10 years.

This one seems like he's got a relationship with Pastner and the new Assistant- list includes Santa Clara...
Santa Clara’s 7 footer also entered the portal as well.
This one seems pretty telegraphed that hes potentially coming along... he announced he was entering portal right after it was announced we were hiring Garson.
This is a “footer” I can get behind here, experienced length to help mold N’Diaye!
Similar stats to Cherry except this guy can shoot 3's. Which we need more shooters.
