HOUSTON — Texas coach Steve Sarkisian speculated that every team in the SEC has a roster budget of at least $30 million and some schools in the league may be nearing $50 million.Sarkisian, speaking to reporters before an alumni luncheon on Thursday at the Touchdown Club of Houston, alluded to public speculation around roster budgets and was asked where he believes the SEC sits in that category.“I don’t think there’s a team in our conference that doesn’t pay, at minimum, $30 million for their roster,” Sarkisian said. “I think there are some that are close to $50 million, truthfully. I think the reports of what people say (teams) are paying based on evaluation of players, I don’t think those are necessarily true.”Referencing speculative valuations that have circulated on social media in recent weeks, Sarkisian said he believes those are inaccurate.“I saw a valuation of what we pay our roster. I think that’s at minimum $10 million off,” Sarkisian said. “Just because a player has a valuation of a certain number doesn’t mean that that’s what we pay him.“Arguably, the player who should be our highest-paid player on our roster (quarterback Arch Manning) is probably the 10th-highest paid quarterback in the country. Because he has other deals through NIL that he is doing us a favor, in essence, saying, ‘Hey, you don’t have to pay me what these other guys are paying other quarterbacks because I’ve got deals that my agents and my team are working for me.’
