NIL at Houston Cougars

Houston's NIL resources have leaned toward men's basketball, the program's flagship sport, which reached the 2025 national championship game and has sustained elite rosters. Football, elevated to the Big 12 in 2023, operates with a smaller NIL footprint while it works to establish itself in the deeper conference. The city of Houston is one of the country's largest corporate markets, which gives athletes real endorsement upside, but donor NIL activity around football has been modest compared with the conference's established powers. The House settlement lets Houston pay athletes directly, capped around $20.5 million department-wide in year one with annual growth, and how that pool is divided between a championship-level basketball program and a developing football roster is a defining question for the athletic department.

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