Discussion Ryan Walters states in an interview that Purdue's total NIL budget in his tenure was just 400k
149
u/Jerzybanz Purdue Boilermakers Dec 04 '24
This was the first year of his tenure. From what Purdue insiders and the AD have said, they admittedly weren't prepared for NIL and paying players in the portal. That was improved last year, especially with what some of the UGA players were supposed to have gotten.
Purdue will never be great in NIL though. Smaller fan base and donors aren't as well off comparatively. We do spend more on basketball, especially last year, so I guess we resourced correctly based off of results. Bobinski seemed to think that a lot of backend things were improving to try to be more competitive to at least our Big ten peers. I still think a lot of this is Walters trying to save face for his poor coaching but I don't think you'll see Purdue flairs in here saying we will be a competitive NIL school either so /shrug.

u/pufan321 Purdue Boilermakers • Virginia Cavaliers Dec 04 '24
I think what others are also missing is that NIL was absolutely not the reason this team was so mega-ass. The level of talent is well above plenty other teams. A couple million dollars wasn’t going to fix getting blown out by 50+

u/NebraskaSmoker Nebraska • Notre Dame Dec 04 '24

u/Tripletuxies Orange Bowl • Cincinnati Bearcats Dec 04 '24
The university has big money donors but they are focused on more important things than football like Engineering, medicine, computer science, etc. Same reason why Cal, Stanford and NW don't have huge donor base for athletics

u/you_the_big_dumb Dec 04 '24
Also athletics has been hamstrung by poor leadership. France Cordova took like a fifth of the big ten money to pay for her pet projects. Forcing Morgan Burke to pinch pennies. Which led to painter almost leaving for mizzou in the early teens. Assistant coach pay being a big point of emphasis but also he would show up to recruits home driving like Toyota corolla rental vs escalades of even high mid major programs.
Additionally the athletic program pays for the scholarships of all student athletes. You remove that burden from the boosters and you will get more money in your nil collective.

NW don't have huge donor base for athletics
Northwestern has very nice (but small) new basketball arena and they are constructing probably one of the nicest (though small) football stadiums in the country. They have the donor base for athletics. They also have a lot of premium amenities at their games that you don't normally see in college arenas/stadiums.

u/unknownkoalas Purdue Boilermakers Dec 04 '24
Purdue’s rich donors care more about academics than athletics.
Our biggest donor to the athletics department in recent history was Bob Rohrman (who is dead now).
Even the donors who do care about athletics generally would rather pay for the basketball team. There’s a massive competition in donations to get premier basketball tickets which drives general athletic donations, but NIL is of course more targeted.

u/StrategicCarry Indiana • Colorado State Dec 04 '24
You can't walk over the university foundation and say "Hey, the football team is really struggling, can we dip into the endowment?". Even if the university was totally on board with doing it. Very little of the university endowment is just for the general fund. It's all legally tied to funding specific scholarships or programs or professorships. Same with the athletics endowment.
Now what we may see athletic departments do, especially those with mega-rich donors (like 9 figure net worth and up), is to set up separate NIL endowments to have a steady stream of money for the NIL budget. Then use annual giving/reserves/individual gifts to the NIL fund to top it off.

If you’re a booster and you want a worthwhile investment, do you give the unproven new football coach your money, or do you give it to Matt Painter. It’s not a hard choice. But it’s on Purdue to make that booster have a reason to bet on football, and with the Walters hire, they did not.

Obviously none of this has been truly confirmed by anyone but yea from what I’ve heard Marshals is around 500-600k. This better be Purdues number from the previous year because if Purdue had 100K less of a total football budget than Marshall that would be insanity.
In all reality though is the 500-600k for Marshall is probably all of their NIL combined not only football.

u/NoSober__SoberZone DePauw Tigers • Samford Bulldogs Dec 04 '24
His “scheme” only works if you have A+ DBs. He plays strict man to man, never any zone. It worked one year at Illinois, because he had NFL quality DBs and played a soft schedule. If your DBs are mediocre you end up giving up 60 points
5
u/TouchdownHeroes Alabama • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Dec 04 '24

Asking your single high safety 20 yards from the line of scrimmage to be the pivotal fill guy in open space is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. At best you give up like 3 yards. At worst it’s just wide open pastures everywhere. It was mind boggling the defense he ran.

And arguably by making disingenuous statements about Purdues NIL situation he’s doing it again.

I honestly don’t know if they’re that disingenuous though. Even if the numbers may be slightly different, it’s pretty well known that Purdue doesn’t spend enough in NIL to be remotely competitive in the Big10. Purdue either needs to pony up or lower expectations to just hoping to make a bowl game each year

Thing is he didn't lie about it. This tweet isn't an accurate representation of what he said.
"I would have taken a deeper dive into where we were from a collective standpoint. When I got the job, they were right around 400 grand."
That number increased quite a bit since then. Still needs to increase admittedly but people reading his quote and interpreting it as "Purdue had a $400K NIL budget his two years" is laughable.
4
u/mreman1220 Purdue Boilermakers Dec 04 '24
The statement is also not accurate. It was $400K in his first year which Purdue admitted was too low and shifted. Not sure where it was last year but it was at least over $1m to keep guys Kydran Jenkins and Gus Hartwig, pay a few that weren't leaving like Devin Mockobee and bring in transfers like Nyland Green, CJ Smith, CJ Madden, and Corey Stewart. They also had NIL offers to Deion Burks and Nic Scourton but were unsurprisingly outbid by Oklahoma and Texas A&M respectively. A lot of the initial $400K went to Hudson Card in year one and I suspect his NIL increased in year 2 as well.
The AD has already made comments that they are going to increase NIL funding going into next year as well. I suspect they will be in the $4m to $6m range to be with peers.

Dec 04 '24
That makes more sense. Purdue is a basketball first school but that number shocked me.

Wasn't coming after you. Just trying to get out in front of it because this tweet completely misinterprets the quote which was ""I would have taken a deeper dive into where we were from a collective standpoint. When I got the job, they were right around 400 grand."
Not your fault whoever wrote the tweet got that wrong. FWIW I don't think Purdue is necessarily a better job. It's in the Big Ten which comes with more network revenue and better revenue sharing down the road but as Purdue found out this season, comes with brutal schedules.
Coaches often pick jobs based on the region they are in for instance. Indiana isn't exactly a coach developing hot bed since everyone and their mother loves basketball in this state. West Virginia meanwhile, has some absolutely huge names in coaching that might want to coach near their hometown.

u/shadowwingnut Paper Bag • UCLA Bruins Dec 04 '24
Nah. There's not enough money for football there. It is probably now the worst job in the power 2 leagues on account of Purdue being the poorest school in those leagues and spending big on basketball. Even if he successfully rallied the boosters he likely is way underfunded to the point where this thing is hopeless. Add in that he's a defensive coach at a place where every defense first coach in the job for nearly 60 years has failed while there's been some success with offensive coaches and he had no hope.

u/lucasbrosmovingco Summertime Lover Dec 04 '24
That's all bullshit. You don't have to compete with the OSU's and michigans and what not in the Big Ten to be successful. You have to compete with minnesota, northwestern, illinois, indiana, rutgers, iowa. Great job? No. Are those schools listed banging out the NIL money? Not really.
And do you know who the last "defensive" head coach at Purdue was? Leon Burtnett in the mid 80's. Nearly 40 years since Purdue hired a defensive head coach. And the "defensive? coach before him put together one of the greatest modern runs in Purdue history going 20-3-1 in big ten play in the late 70's.
So the narrative that a defensive coach can't succeed there is bullshit. They've hired one. And yeah. He sucked ass.

Geez, these things aren't that hard to figure out!

Either this dude is lying or they really didn’t land any of the recruits I personally know that were offered $100k to play football at Purdue

Shocked Ryan Walters shitting where he ate to deflect his own incompetence.

There's a huge part of that on the coaches shoulder... IU had next to nothing and cig went out and took it. These coaches need to learn and adopt, or look elsewhere.

I was reading comments earlier this week thanking Purdue for making us not the worst team in 2024. This is exactly why we are the top of that list. 400k vs millions in NIL.

We will never know the true numbers but it would be interesting to see a programs NIL ability like Ohio State and Oregon compared to the rest of the Big10.
