NIL at North Carolina Tar Heels

North Carolina has long been a basketball-first NIL market, with the Jordan Brand connection and a blue blood hoops history shaping where money and attention flow. Football investment rose sharply with the decision to hire Bill Belichick ahead of the 2025 season, a move widely reported to come with a substantially larger football budget. Even so, few Tar Heel football players appear in public NIL valuation rankings, so most published figures are estimates. Under the House settlement, UNC can share athletic revenue directly with athletes, capped near $20.5 million in year one and rising annually, split across sports at the school's discretion, with third party NIL deals continuing separately.

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 Charleston, so the value shown here is a modeled estimate. See how NIL valuations work.
