I presume he researched this point rather than shooting from the hip.
Also, I think the real revenue disparity that will matter most is NIL recruiting bribery through collectives (i.e., booster money paid for de minimus activity, such as signing autographs or showing up for a meet-and-greet). TV money can be spent only on stuff an recruit uses (e.g., video game rooms, fancy weight rooms). NIL money is used to pay the recruit. People like to get paid, and while it's not the only factor in choosing a job (ahem, a college), it's a big one.
