LSU football will enter the 2024 season with a roster budget set between $14 million and $17 million, head coach Brian Kelly told Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger.

When asked if every school could match that budget, Kelly told Dellenger, "Everybody in the SEC."

Schools will be able to directly pay college athletes for the first time in NCAA history starting in fall 2025. This revenue sharing is expected to be capped at around $20 million.

LSU isn't the only school planning on spending the majority of that revenue-sharing limit on football.
