How much money do college athletes in Texas make? Public universities won’t say
Public universities in Texas are refusing to disclose financial compensation information for student-athletes, citing state law that makes Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) payments confidential. This secrecy has raised concerns about the transparency of college sports and the impact of new compensation rules on competition.
Texas public universities are withholding information on student-athlete compensation. The universities cited state law making NIL payments confidential. The law was sponsored by then-state Rep. Brandon Creighton in 2023. Public records requests were submitted to 11 schools, including UT-Austin and Texas A&M. The schools refused to provide per-player pay or per-team financials. Coaches' salaries were disclosed, but student-athlete compensation was not. This secrecy has raised concerns about transparency in college sports.
