NIL at Oklahoma Sooners
Oklahoma joined the SEC in 2024, which raised both its revenue ceiling and the competitive bar for athlete compensation. The Sooners field prominent programs beyond football; softball and gymnastics have won repeated national championships, and their stars carry substantial social followings, though NIL budgets in those sports remain a fraction of football's. Under the House settlement, Oklahoma can share revenue directly with athletes, capped around $20.5 million in year one and increasing annually, with football expected to receive the bulk at most SEC schools. Donor collectives supplement that with third party deals. Norman is a modest market, but statewide brand saturation and the SEC platform give marketable Sooners real endorsement reach.
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 Owen, so the value shown here is a modeled estimate. See how NIL valuations work.
