I understand that the correlation between NIL and a university’s alumni base isn’t absolute but nonetheless, it has to be a pretty big deal. There are some surprises here, especially in the #1 spot. This is from a June ‘24 article and it references living university alumni. I left a few out but they aren’t relevant on the college football scene.
1) Indiana 774,828
2) Penn State 750,000
4) Michigan 645,000
5) A&M 640,000
6) Michigan State 634,000
7) Rutgers 604,300
8) Ohio State 600,000
9) Texas 585,000
10) Purdue 575,000
11) UCLA 510,000
13) Wisconsin 481,778
14) USC 480,000
25) Alabama 221,000
Nebraska 193,000.
I was surprised that these living alumni numbers aren’t bigger than they are.
