The one point I loved was he wanted ANYONE to explain how spending dead money (porter buyout money) would be better than putting that same money into NIL for the team. No one can argue that one, unless they simply don’t like Porter
Despite what another post around here says, it's not that easy.
Operations - This comes from an operating fund. This is funded by all things OU athletics. Things paid out of this would be Moser's salary and regular operating expenses.
Internal Revenue Sharing - This is a calculation. It's a set amount each year. OU determines how to allocate that amongst the sports they want to allocate it to. I'm guessing that allocation won't change much, year over year. It's not that much though. If it's what, $20-something million for the entire athletic department, and you figure football gets a big chunk, this is a small number.
Outside NIL - No University funds are used for this. Can't be. This is the stuff that goes thru the Clearinghouse. This is the part that NOBODY has good numbers on, because no school in their right mind is going to share those numbers. This is where the majority of the NIL is coming from, and thus OU does not really control other than potentially telling donors they need more money in those funds to be able to strike deals with players. But OU cannot fund it directly.
So no, the Porter buy-out money and the true outside NIL money are not one in the same.
Some of you all should take some accounting/finance classes. It's not an overly difficult topic, and some of you are missing the basics as it relates to accounting at NFP/Governmental organizations, and being able to read the financial statements that are available to everybody.
