NIL at Michigan Wolverines

Michigan pairs one of the largest fanbases in college sports with the Champions Circle collective, and its NIL posture turned sharply aggressive when quarterback Bryce Underwood signed a package widely reported to be worth $10 million or more over four years, among the biggest known deals for a recruit. Since the House settlement, the athletic department can also pay athletes directly under the revenue sharing cap of about $20.5 million in year one, rising annually. Football and basketball absorb most of the spending, though Michigan supports athletes across many sports. The program's national alumni network and winged-helmet brand give Wolverine athletes endorsement reach well beyond the state of Michigan.

How NIL value is calculated

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