NIL at Louisville Cardinals
Louisville competes in the ACC and fields nationally relevant programs in both football and men's basketball, and basketball has historically anchored the school's NIL market. The 502Circle collective serves as the primary donor-funded vehicle for Cardinal athletes across sports. Since the House settlement took effect in 2025, Louisville, like other power conference schools, can pay athletes directly through revenue sharing, capped at roughly $20.5 million across the athletic department in year one and rising annually, with third party NIL deals continuing on top of that. Basketball's outsized importance in a city with no major professional franchise gives Louisville athletes a larger local endorsement market than the school's football profile alone would suggest.
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 Caleb, so the value shown here is a modeled estimate. See how NIL valuations work.
