Coaches Presser 10/12

Sims has to feel he wasted his time rehabbing to come back from injury. I wonder - if Sims got 27 carries in a game, how many yards does he get? I’m guessing it is more than 92.

But rather than give a single QB that many carries, why not at least break it up between QBs?

I don't think UW had much over $1M for NIL so my guess he was around $250K but really here nor there because I doubt Sims or Drube are getting any NIL

I think I saw UW’s total football NIL was estimated to be about $2 million this year.

Most websites that project individual player’s NIL value put Hughes NIL value between $150-300k. If we truly paid $800k, then we probably overpaid significantly for him.

Where are you getting that from?

According to this article - Wyoming is apparently attempting to budget $5 million to football NIL.

I think the $800k is a confused number - and maybe I even stated it on this forum. Here is what I have learned. UW is paying Hughes somewhere in the $100-$300k realm. After he signed with us, CSU came forward with an offer of $800k - but he had already inked his deal with UW for the season. My guess is that he is getting $250k. Which is way too much - but a heck of a lot better than $800k.

There had to be a contract in place for him not to accept CSU's offer. Loyalty will only get you a lot but I doubt it would be worth $500k to $700k to second or third tier QB in the portal. I would love to see the actual contract that is being used by teams.

Your information appears correct!

I tracked down the UW BOT public session report from March 2026. On page 74, the report states that they are currently (as of March 2026) paying $2 million for football in NIL but intend to raise the figure to $4-$5 million.
