NIL at Florida State Seminoles
Florida State has taken one of the ACC's most aggressive NIL postures. Its football-focused collective, Battle's End, has been among the more prominent donor operations in the league, and the school fought a public legal battle with the ACC over media revenue that ended in a 2025 settlement giving high-viewership programs like FSU a larger share. That money matters for revenue sharing, which the House settlement now lets schools pay directly to athletes, capped near $20.5 million across the department in the first year and climbing annually. Football receives the bulk of Florida State's NIL and revenue-share investment, and the Tallahassee donor base has shown it will fund competitive rosters even through down seasons.
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 K.J., so the value shown here is a modeled estimate. See how NIL valuations work.
