given 1) based on endowments, ND alumni probably worth more than Auburn alumni in aggregate and 2) ND athletes get much more national exposure than Auburn athletes making them more valuable from a marketing perspective.

For #1, assuming that boosters will simply make NIL payments recruiting reasons without regard to business benefit, ND should be able to compete (assuming for better or worse that there are at least a few ND fans with deep pockets who might not need a ROI on any "marketing investments" involving ND players).

For #2, again ND should have the leg up given the national fanbase it enjoys
