NIL at Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Rutgers plays in the Big Ten, which gives the Scarlet Knights a full share of the richest media rights package in college sports even as the football program works to climb the league standings. Since the 2025 House settlement, the school can pay athletes directly through revenue sharing, capped at roughly 20.5 million dollars across all sports in year one and rising annually, with third party NIL deals on top. The public NIL market around Rutgers is thin by Big Ten standards: a 2026 roster review found published valuations for only two of the twenty most prominent football players, so most figures for Rutgers athletes are modeled estimates rather than reported deals. Proximity to New York remains more promise than proven NIL advantage.

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