Cal football GM Ron Rivera is quoted in the SF Standard as saying the team will spend $30m on players this year:

The highest-spending teams in the nation project to run budgets of roughly $50 million in 2026. Rivera said Cal’s spending is in the range of $30 million, in line with the upper echelon of ACC powers like Clemson and Florida State (but below Miami).

Star QB Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele will receive $3m from the school plus whatever he earns from private NIL and his own brand of merch.
