Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian refuted reports that the team is spending up to $35 to $40 million on its roster this year. Earlier this offseason, the report garnered attention across the internet, but Sarkisian clarified that his team has not spent that much on their roster.
“What's frustrating on that was it was a little bit of irresponsible reporting," Sarkisian said on College Sports on SiriusXM. "One anonymous source said that's what our roster was. I wish I had 40 million on our roster, we’d probably be a little bit better team than we are. The idea to think that a lot of other schools aren't spending money to get players. It's the state of college football right now. It is what it is. We're fortunate, don't get me wrong. We've got great support."
