NIL at California Golden Bears

California joined the ACC in 2024, and its NIL market is among the thinnest of any power-conference football program. A 2026 roster review found a published valuation for only one Cal football player, so nearly every figure for the team is a modeled estimate rather than market data. The Bay Area offers a huge economy but one crowded with professional teams and other sponsorship priorities, and Berkeley's donor collectives have operated on a smaller scale than those at football-first schools. Cal participates in revenue sharing under the House settlement, with the standard cap of about $20.5 million in year one growing annually, and its cross-country ACC membership brings full power-league media revenue that helps fund those payments.

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