Austin – How much will Texas spend on the football list this season? The coach, Steve Sarkissian, has not previously been reported.
Spring meetings of the Southeast Conference in Distin, Florida. During the appearance of Sicm’s SEC radio Channel, Sarkisyan refuted a report By Houston Chronicle that longhorns Plan to cancel “between 35 to 40 million dollars” as compensation for nothing for the 2025 list.
“What is frustrated about it was that it was a little irresponsible reports,” he said. “One of the unknown sources said that this is what our list was. I hope we have $ 40 million on our list, and we may be a little better team than we are.”
The Chronicle report included a potential $ 20.5 million to exchange revenue from the settlement of the House of Representatives, as well as NIL contributions from the Texas One Fund, The School’s Collective. Sarkissian said it was a new natural thing in the university football scene to use money to build a list, not much.
“The idea of believing that other schools do not spend money to get two players … it is the case of university football. This is what it is,” Sarkissian said. “We are lucky, do not understand me wrong. We got great support. Chris del Conte, our sports manager, is doing a great job. People are excited, we went to CFP for two years in a row and we had 20 people who were formulated in the past two years. It was great.”
He stated that he wants to “another $ 15 million or so” to improve the list, so by doing mathematics, it may be the current bill for the fBS list at the elite level in the range of $ 25 million. Sarkissian did not have details about the price of his list beyond this comment.
Sarkissian was also annoyed because no one asked him about it before the report was published. He blamed social media and the news course for the speedy spread of the report through the total sport scene.
“The development of Twitter, social media and podcasts … one of them writes an article from an unknown source saying that this is our list, and everyone ran with it. I am talking about real publications that ran with her … No one asked me one question.
“Put a statue somewhere in this team”
At an official press conference with the correspondents, Sarkissian discussed the length of the season by coordinating a football team at the expanded college, saying that he would be shocked if someone was not defeated again.
“We played 16 games, and that was only to reach the semi -finals,” he said. “The idea that we must wrap our brain around, I do not know if we will see a national hero who is not defeated again. If we do so, this is a really good team. It is difficult because of the quality of the opponents you play, but it is also difficult to keep her health for a long time.
Compare her by winning Florida in the Men’s Basketball Championship in NCAA and Vanderbilt won the first seed in the baseball championship.
“I looked at Vanderbelt, and at one point of the season, they were 11-10, and now they are the first classifications,” said Sarkissian. “We have seen this in basketball this year with Florida’s victory in the national title. This idea is that someone will go to 16-0 in university football, the man, put a statue somewhere in this team. I don’t know this will happen again.”
By other expansion of CFP to 16 teams as soon as 2026, Sarkissian’s only request is to make sure that the teams worth playing for a national title get this opportunity.
“The idea that the forces trying to correct it is a good and healthy discussion,” he said. “I understand that not everyone is on the same page at the present time. We hope we can reach this point where we give the best team the opportunity to enter.”
