How much did Oklahoma spend on its 2026 football roster?
Oklahoma is among nine SEC programs spending more than $30 million on its 2026 roster.
The Oklahoma Sooners spent approximately $30 million on their 2026 football roster, placing them in the tier of spending above $30 million according to a survey from the 2026 Personnel Symposium conducted by CBS Sports. This tier includes programs such as the Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, Ole Miss Rebels, and Tennessee Volunteers.
While this spending level may not match that of the top spenders like LSU, Texas, Oregon, Ohio State, and Miami, the Sooners have demonstrated they can be competitive with the rest of college football. Their strategy involves targeting positions of need, adding proven transfers, and retaining key contributors from the previous College Football Playoff team.
This approach suggests that Oklahoma's spending aligns with their goal of being a consistent contender for the College Football Playoff, rather than being a program that spends excessively without seeing results.
