Kirby Smart is doing more with less according to a recent report by The Athletic on what teams are spending on their football roster.

"…Georgia’s 2025 NCAA financial report revealed football generated $38.9M in ticket revenue and $44.1M in contributions…"
61% profit margin is about 20% higher than most Fortune 500 companies. Maybe FB staff spending accounts for the gap🤷
Does the ROSTER rank 10th or does the budget rank 10th? Big difference.
THe question for me is why? WHy are we having to do more with less? Not as much can we do more than 9 other schools that spend more. BUt why are we? Is there a feather in our cap somewhere for investing less? How is this a net positive other than we are still able to get good/great players?
Must be the budget because the roster is top 5 nationally.
@reddawg1 Note where the source mentions front-loading not being factored in — UGA spent around $8 million before 2025 cap in place
I’m wondering why we can’t find this division 2 players like Trinidad C.
