Curious to know, and I don't follow wrasslin' at all - so please forgive - but what are top schools spending on NIL for the sport? I did the googles, and there is a mixed bag of info! Facebook has (2025), and holy shit that is crazy:
Penn State $7.9m
OK State $5.0m
Iowa $4.0m
Ohio State $3.2m
Knebraska $3.1m
Rutgers $3.0m
Va Tech $3.0m
Michigan $3.0m
Iowa State $2.7m
Arizona State $2.7m
Wyoming?

Wrestling they can hide the NIL via their Regional Training Centers (RTC) so the true number may never be known. The numbers you found should be their budget and rev share. I don't think that Iowa number is right (too low) and Virginia Tech is probably top 3 now; Wyoming is in the ~$1.5M range.
For reference Iowa paid former Wyoming wrestler Stephen Buchanan $500k to wrestle a semester at Iowa and win a National Championship. One crazy donor can flip a program and Iowa's crazy donor is a Grocery Store baron
Bob Nicolls is one of the big donors
