Oklahoma backed up its move to the SEC with real spending, rebuilding the football roster around prized transfer quarterback John Mateer (a reported ~$2M deal) under Brent Venables.

But what sets the Sooners apart is the most dominant program in women's college sports: Patty Gasso's softball dynasty, a serial national champion that commands NIL value few non-revenue programs can touch. Add a competitive men's basketball budget and a strong baseball program and Oklahoma owns one of the most balanced top-15 NIL portfolios in the country.
