Duke football ranks among lowest paid rosters in Power Four conferences

Duke football is performing well this season, holding a 2-0 record after a recent road win at Illinois. Despite this success, the team's roster is reportedly one of the lowest-paid in the Power Four conferences, with costs ranging from $12 million to $15 million. This financial situation places Duke ahead of only Boston College, whose roster expenses are between $8 million and $13 million. Comparatively, Miami's roster costs significantly more, between $44 million and $50 million. The disparity raises concerns about potential challenges in retaining standout players like running back Nate Sheppard next offseason.
