The Sideline

Georgia has been the SEC's model of sustained spending and sustained winning, reaching the College Football Playoff every year of the expanded format under Kirby Smart.

The Bulldogs' football budget — quarterbacked by Gunner Stockton — ranks comfortably inside the national top 12, funded by the Classic City Collective and one of the most engaged donor bases in the South. Georgia has increasingly pushed money into men's basketball and a fast-rising baseball program, giving Smart's department a broad, top-10 all-sport NIL footprint to match its on-field résumé.
