If the Longhorns' budget range is accurate, it represents a significant leap from the previous highest known roster budget in the sport.

Texas is reportedly increasing its name, image, and likeness (NIL) budget, which will be a “one-time exorbitant expense” for what is set to be nation’s most expensive college football team. This budget projection also includes a $20.5 million revenue-sharing allotment, per the outlet.

Texas One Fund, the school's NIL collective, is expected to pay for the remaining cost of above-the-cap spending on football players.
