Listing of all NIL Collectives & Revenue by School

There are 362 NCAA I member schools of which 211 currently have NIL collectives and 151 do not. All 69 members of the “power 5” conferences have supporting collectives while slightly more than half of all other NCAA I schools currently do not.

Schools / Supporting Collective(s)	Total	Yes	No
Power 5 Schools	69	69	-
Group of 5 Schools	60	50	10
All other D1 Schools	233	92	141
Total - All NCAA I Schools	362	211	151

Average Funding per NIL Collective by Group:

Average per Collective *	#	Average	Football	Men's BB	Other Sports
Power 5 Schools	69	$ 9,815,217	66%	24%	10%
Group of 5 Schools	50	$ 1,452,645	50%	37%	13%
Other NCAA I Schools	92	$ 733,696	52%	32%	16%
Totals	211		62%	27%	11%

* Averages are computed based on market data presented in the Opendorse NIL at Two report on projected 2023-24 NIL total spending. Football & Men’s Basketball account for nearly 90% of NIL allocated compensation while all other sports account for just over 10%. Schools with multiple supporting collectives are considered a single collective for these purposes.

NIL Collective Average Funding by Power 5 Conference:

Based on the projected 2023-24 NIL Market, the following is our estimate of NIL Collective funding by Power 5 Conference. NIL collectives are expected to generate on average almost $10 million annually per Power 5 school in compensation to student athletes. See our disclosure of Methodology as to how these estimates were arrived at:

Power 5 Conference NIL Collectives	2023	2024		Collective Funding	Average 2023	Average 2024
ACC	15	18		149,058,917	9,937,261	8,936,535
Big 12	14	16		114,805,506	8,200,393	7,231,404
Big Ten	14	18		149,621,199	10,687,228	9,725,407
Pac-12	12	2		77,669,370	6,472,447	3,190,207
SEC	14	16		186,095,088	13,292,501	13,949,067
Total	69	70		$ 677,250,000	$ 9,815,217	$ 9,731,184

Click on links above for more detail by conference. We are confident these estimates are reasonable: the CEO of Student-Athlete NIL agency recently estimated that collectives associated with Big Ten and SEC schools might spend $ 7.5 million to $ 12 million on football players alone. Using his allocation of 75% to 80% to football, this would result in Big Ten and SEC collectives raising $ 10 million to $ 15 million annually, which is in line with our estimates above. Ryan Day, head football coach at Ohio State, recently stated that they needed $ 13 million in NIL money simply to “maintain” their roster which is also consistent with these estimates.

Projected NIL Collective Funding by NCAA I School:

Based on 2022 Booster support, the following is our estimate of NIL collective 2023-24 funding per school. Public universities only – private schools are not reported here due to lack of data. Our estimate of NIL Collective funding is based on a percentage of the school’s existing booster & fan support – see our disclosure of Methodology as to how these estimates were arrived at:

* Important – see our disclosure of Methodology as to how these estimates were arrived at.

Our initial impression was that these estimates are high. But upon review we saw that the goal of the University of Tennessee collective is $ 25 million and that they believe this goal is “absolutely attainable”. The head football coach at Ohio State recently stated they need $ 13 million in NIL money just to “maintain” their football roster. Using the 66% Power 5 average of NIL money allocated to Football, this translates into just under $ 20 million in NIL dollars to all Ohio State sports – very close to the estimate presented in this table. Additional spot checking revealed credible reports of Auburn raising over $ 13 million and Ole Miss raising over $ 10 million in NIL Collective money – both figures are somewhat higher the estimates contained in this table.

But there are also collectives that have generated funding substantially below these estimates. Michigan State’s primary collective recently cancelled or paused nearly all its contracts with football players due to lackluster support – less than 100 subscriptions to date. Michigan State has without question received the worst publicity of any college athletic department in recent years due to several serious incidents, but it’s also likely not a total outlier. Several other collectives have announced weak fundraising totals as well, including Northwestern’s which recently stated  that it was going to miss its Year 1 goal of raising $3 million by a substantial margin (possibly due to the firing of a popular coach). So some of our estimates are clearly too high, and some may be too low.

The CEO of Student-Athlete NIL estimated that the average collective nationally has raised $ 3 million to $ 5 million which almost directly matches our computed average of just under $ 3.9 million for all 211 collectives currently in our database. So overall we believe the methodology used and resulting estimates are within reason and generally consistent with real world results.

Opendorse summarizes 2023-24 NIL Collective fundraising tiers as follows:

Grouping		Annual Funding
Power 5 - Top Level		$ 10 million +
Power 5 - Mid Tier		$ 5 - $ 10 million
Lower P5 & Upper G5		$ 1 - $ 5 million
Mid G5 & Upper D1		$ 250K - $ 1 million
All other D1		$ 100k - $ 250k

School support of Athletic Programs by Percentage:

There is a direct relationship between Athletic Department Revenues and what a school needs to internally contribute to support its athletic department.  Schools with substantial revenues from ticket sales, booster contributions and TV contracts require little or no school support. But most Athletic Departments have limited outside revenue and must rely on school funds & student fees to a significant extent to support their athletic programs:

The emergence of NIL collectives is going to substantially widen the already large financial gap between big revenue schools and everyone else. The NCAA recently issued an informal proposal in an attempt to address the problem that NIL collectives pose to the competitive balance between schools. But the proposed two-tiered division structure would require smaller NCAA I schools aiming to compete at top levels, to commit to an additional financial commitment that many simply would be unable to afford. Athletics is key part of the college experience. It’s important that the necessary steps be taken to allow for a level playing field between all NCAA I schools.

* See our disclosure of Methodology as to how these estimates were arrived at:
