Nebraska near top of 2024 Big Ten operating expenses
Nebraska near top of 2024 Big Ten operating expenses The Big Ten is one of the premier athletic conferences in the country, and recent numbers suggest that each team spent a significant amount of money in the 2024 fiscal year on athletic departments' operating expenses. Strategy and analytics consultant Tony Altimore calculated the total athletic budgets of all 18 Big Ten teams, and the Nebraska Cornhuskers were near the top of the conference in spending. Topping the list is the Ohio State Buckeyes. They led the conference with $262 million in athletic department operating expenses. The Huskers came in sixth in the Big Ten with $175 million in expenses. USC came in second at $242 million, with Michigan at third in expenses with $221 million. Purdue brought up the rear of the league with $117 million in expenses, with Northwestern in second-to-last with expenses of $124 million. We take a look at the spending budgets for each of the 18 teams in the Big Ten, in what has been an ever-changing landscape. The numbers are calculated in the millions. All things considered, the Huskers are competing with the elite programs in the country when it comes to athletic department spending. In a conference spanning multiple markets and regions across the country, the Huskers appear to be trending in the right direction.

Three Predictions: Florida, Syracuse, Carsyn Baker
Jeff McCulloch/ Rivals national recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr. has predictions on a potential commitment run for Florida, Syracuse's success recruiting receivers and a speed running back that could be playing college football out-of-state. CLASS OF 2026 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2027 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State TRANSFER PORTAL: Full coverage | Player ranking | Team ranking | Transfer search | Transfer Tracker RIVALS CAMP SERIES: Rivals Five-Star heading back to Indy | Rivals Five-Star roster | Schedule/info THE FLORIDA GATOR RUN HAS ARRIVED Nick Lucero/ Advertisement Official visit season is congruent with commitment season and many programs should see the numbers run up in the class of 2026, especially those with little volume in the rising-senior class to date. Florida fits that bill with just two commitments entering last weekend. The program has already doubled that number and with the group of prospects expected to see The Swamp in the coming weeks, we don't expect that momentum to slow down. The offensive line may be low-hanging fruit in this exercise, with in-state standouts Chancellor Campbell and Javarii Luckas taking official visits in back to back weekends. Whenever Javeion Cooper reschedules his trip to Gainesville, that one will pick up momentum as well. Elsewhere in the state the buzz remains with Florida for blue-chip defensive back CJ Hester after his weekend in town, too. Beyond the state line, Florida is feeling good about recent visitors such as pass rusher JaReylan McCoy and running back Carsyn Baker, among others. We would be surprised if the commitment list isn't sitting in double-digits a few weeks from now. Advertisement SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH FLORIDA FANS AT 1ST AND TEN FLORIDA SYRACUSE WILL HIT BIG AT WIDE RECEIVER The more national recruiting battles Fran Brown and company jump in on, the stronger the confidence behind the pursuit gets. Syracuse holds a top-20 class with multiple blue-chippers already on board, but it has its eye on a major headliner at the wide receiver position to potentially be locked down over the next month. The top in-state recruit, and one of the nation's hottest wideouts on the trail, is one. Messiah Hampton is a Rochester native, some 90 minutes from campus, and he has felt the press from Brown and company since they took over in Central New York. Oregon and Miami are the top contenders working on an upset ahead of a June 13 decision date. Advertisement The big national name SU is pushing for, and also contending with, is Calvin Russell. The two-sport star from Miami won't be an easy win over the Hurricanes, where he has serious family ties, but SU has hosted him a few times and should get a return trip in the form of an official visit as Oregon, LSU, Florida and many others jockey for position ahead of Russell's July 5 verbal commitment date. Those big brands once made these recruitments easier to project, but in this era and with the momentum SU has created, we're calling the shot for the Orange to snag one of these class headliners in the coming weeks. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH SYRACUSE FANS AT SPEEDY RB BAKER PLAYS BEYOND THE STATE OF GEORGIA We mentioned Florida feeling good about Baker coming out of an official visit two weekends ago, and the feeling is mutual as far as we can tell. There is some visit shuffle, with Ohio State now out of the picture, in this one as a potential verbal commitment inches closer. Georgia and Georgia Tech both had a hand on the in-state recruit's list but that momentum seems destined for the past tense at this time. Along the with Gators, Florida State and South Carolina could be among the favorites for one of the nation's fastest running back recruits. Should the timeline remain accelerated and the visits come together as we currently hear they are – with FSU on deck to host Baker this weekend – then playing outside of state lines in college appears to be a safer bet with the blue-chipper. Florida may be the trendy selection as of this writing, but the remaining visits could challenge that notion in short order.

Elite four-star edge names Texas in top five, sets July commitment date
Elite four-star edge names Texas in top five, sets July commitment date Texas is set to host four-star edge Jamarion Carlton this Friday for an official visit. This is a crucial one because Carlton has set a commitment date for July 10. However, that's not all he's done. Carlton has 27 total offers from some of the top programs in the country. He has narrowed his choices down to five schools. They are LSU, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Texas. Rivals has pegged Carlton as the No. 46 overall recruit and the nation's No. 4 edge. The 6-foot-5, 240-pounder is ranked as the No. 4 prospect in Texas as well. According to Carlton, the Longhorns have been consistent with their pursuit of him. "Texas has been here a whole lot," Carlton told Rivals. "They blow up my phone every day here regardless. They're everywhere. They call my mom, they try to get in touch with me as much as they can." Texas has a new edge coach on their staff in LaAllan Clark. He spent the last two years at Ohio State as a graduate assistant, and he worked with nine All-Big Ten defensive linemen. Carlton has had a bond with Clark since that time, which he also spoke about. "I've had a relationship with Coach Clark since he was at Ohio State," said Carlton. "I've seen how he develops players, how he's trained NFL players, and I know he can develop me as a player, as a person, and as a man. He has the same background as me." Carlton recently took visits to Texas Tech and LSU last weekend. Plus, he'll go see Texas A&M and Baylor before the month is over. The Longhorns need to pull out all the stops this weekend when Carlton comes to Austin.
