## Resource

Texas A&M’s Mike Elko just dropped a financial bombshell: in two and a half years, his team’s NIL budget could eclipse the entire university’s TV revenue. Warning that the current NIL wild west is unsustainable—especially for schools without deep-pocketed boosters—he’s calling for market regulation to prevent chaos. Elko also stressed that college football programs rely on universities, not just business models, highlighting the vital symbiotic relationship between fans, alumni, and the program itself. Without that foundation, he argues, college football as we know it won’t survive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
