Thats what happens when you run an offense that utilizes tight ends very little. Why would any of the top ones want to come to Illinois.

I need to understand your numbers -

This board is terrific - the quality of actual recruit info is fantastic.

However, no one appears to answer or provide a single answer to the questions I write about the player comp / coach comp issue. I actually keep a database.
The NIL/Rev share/Collective player comp numbers thrown out, don't come close to any of the info I have.

So here is all the publicly available information for the 7 schools referenced above - summarized by AI:

Using the On3 NIL proxy + cross-referenced data (transfer portal budgets, roster cost estimates from nil-ncaa.com averaging ~$26M for strong programs, player surveys, and collective strength reports), here is the approximate national tier/rank range for these 7 schools:


  1. Vanderbilt (~25–40 nationally)Highest among the group thanks to the standout $98K avg (comparable to Notre Dame levels).
  2. Houston (~35–50 nationally)Strong $76K avg gives it a solid edge.
  3. Utah (~35–55 nationally)$71K avg keeps it competitive in the Big 12/Power mix.
  4. Washington (~30–50 nationally)$63K avg + Big Ten market/appeal.
  5. Iowa (~40–60 nationally)$47K avg is moderate, but player surveys (e.g., Athletes.org) often rank Iowa top 10 nationally for perceived NIL support and retention.
  6. Illinois (~70–90 nationally)$22K avg pulls it lower despite the Big Ten revenue floor.
To my knowledge and based all of our databases, there aren't any schools offering $250k to Freshman to redshirt. Can you provide your data or your data source.

Sorry, I feel like a broken record. But the high quality info on potential recruits doesn't match the supposition as to how and how much players are compensated. Hence, the official and unofficial visit info is unbelievably helpful. But matched against the wrong comp info its less meaningful.

Would appreciate an answer.
Are you trying to say those are the average pay per player for each school?

Fun fact, new portal WR Eddie Kasper is his cousin.
