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. Where a public figure exists, we sense-check against it (Estimate (On3 does not publicly disclose a figure)). See how NIL valuations work.
