The $50 Million Roster Era Is Coming; Are Big 12 Teams Screwed?

Описание: The push to remove all limits on player pay is getting louder — and that might be amazing news for Texas Tech and BYU, but a serious problem for the rest of the Big 12. In this video, John Kurtz breaks down why Ross Dellinger’s latest reporting has ADs at Miami, Ohio State, and Notre Dame openly talking about scrapping the revenue-sharing cap, how Miami’s rumored $10M move for Duke QB Darien Mensa fits into the picture, and why some power players now want a totally uncapped system. Then he looks at what 35–50 million dollar rosters would actually mean for the Big 12 and which programs can realistically live in that world.

About This Video
In this video, John Kurtz reacts to Ross Dellinger’s latest reporting on the future of NIL, revenue sharing, and the push from major programs to blow up the current spending cap. He explains why Miami’s approach with Darien Mensa and a 30M roster is at the center of the debate, how frustrated ADs are with the College Sports Commission’s ability to enforce anything, and why some of the biggest brands in the sport now want a totally uncapped market. John then zooms in on the Big 12, laying out why Texas Tech and BYU are positioned to thrive in an unlimited spending era while other league members could be priced out of true national contention if rosters really climb toward 50M.
