Auburn Tigers basketball's NIL spend 'won’t come close' to the Kentucky Wildcats'

Bruce Pearl's Auburn Tigers basketball program isn't going to get anywhere near the cut of their athletic department's NIL spend that Mark Pope's Kentucky Wildcats will.

On3's Justin Hokanson revealed that only John Calipari's Arkansas Razorbacks or Rick Barnes' Tennessee Volunteers could attempt to do what's being done in Lexington.

"Auburn won’t come close to this split when it comes to football and basketball. Most in the SEC won’t. Arkansas and Tennessee might go heavier hoops than others? Football will get the vast majority. Auburn basketball deserves more than they will get in my humble opinion, but we know football will always be priority one," Hokanson wrote.
