I have seen lists like this and when it comes down to it they are generally just estimates because there is little to no public information on which to base the actual numbers.

I think it’s common knowledge at this point that NIL $ is estimated.
here it is.
Money doesn’t guarantee March Madness success as NIL era reality hits hard
The money is real now. You can see it in the rosters, the recruiting battles, the expectations. The NIL era has turned college basketball into something closer

I’ve seen this a couple times on this board but is it an Iowa thing to call Michigan MU? Just never heard or noticed that anywhere else
I think if they show a rooting interest it would be towards the lower seeded team, thus, Tennessee. That's how my mind works anyway.
In Ohio (and maybe East Lansing?) they are called scUM
I’ve always seen:
MU is Marquette
UM is Michigan
TTUN is Michigan
scUM is Michigan
I think the overall question implied is "Can you buy a winning team?" The raw numbers help, but I'd like to see a net of NIL per each round of games. That is, say Iowa State wins on Friday, that would show a net of -1.25mm. Then, those could be averaged per round (or whatever) to see if any correlation actually exists.
Maybe it comes from us being in the Big 12 and dealing with the "University of Kansas" calling themselves KU? Keeping track of what everyone wants us to call them can get confusing.
Their money bought players
Our money bought a team.
Factor in our coaching , you have a perfectly baked cake.
On this board 9 times out of 10 when you see OSU it is referencing Okie State rather than Ohio State. For clarification (and to poke fun at arrogance) many on here will refer to Ohio State as tOSU.

Luckily in conference we don't have any of those acronyms that repeat even though it looks like there should be. Colorado goes by CU while Cincy goes by UC. Also had to get used to while Texas was in the league it was UT (while most others put the U last). Arizona likes it that way with the "of" - U of A. I don't think Central Florida has an acronym to go by.
I always have to remind myself that I am used to Kansas being KU but Kentucky goes by UK.
When I am watching or reading something local "the U" refers to Minnesota*, but anything outside this region it generally means Miami (FL).
*Gone around about this before but Minnesota has locally been referred to as "the U" for about as long as Miami has existed as a university.
So a list that has the NIL numbers really means nothing. Several could be quite accurate while there may be cases where player(s) may be at a school for a significant discount because of other factors such as lifelong fan, coach relationships, girlfriend goes there, style of play, legacy player, sense of loyalty, etc. While most of those may not be a huge difference they could add up. At the same time there are likely other schools who have to buy a team and are willing to throw a ton of money - because they have it - at players and may actually be spending more than what is estimated for a player(s).I think it’s common knowledge at this point that NIL $ is estimated.

Even if it is 'common knowledge' that it is estimated, it should be presented as such IMO. Too many people reference things like that as gospel.

Exactly. I've seen no less than 5 lists since last weekend, and all have different amounts (sometimes wildly so). Just posting a list with no source, no background, and presenting as fact is misleading.
