NIL at Penn State Nittany Lions

Penn State combines a top-five national fanbase with the Happy Valley United collective, which consolidated earlier NIL groups into a single operation focused on football and basketball. Big Ten media revenue lets the school fund House settlement revenue sharing at or near the cap, roughly $20.5 million across the department in year one and growing annually, on top of collective-driven third party deals. Football dominates the budget, and Penn State players regularly appear in national NIL valuation rankings. State College sits far from major metro markets, so the White Out brand, a huge alumni network, and crowds above 100,000 at Beaver Stadium do the commercial work that a big city does for other programs.

How NIL value is calculated

An NIL value is an estimate of what an athlete could earn from name, image and likeness over 12 months, not a salary or a confirmed deal. We weigh audience (social reach and engagement), performance and role, school and market, and the sport and position. No exact NIL figure is publicly disclosed for Andrew, so the value shown here is a modeled estimate. See how NIL valuations work.
