Notre Dame Fighting Irish NIL valuations
114 athletes · ACC · estimated ranges as of August 2026
Notre Dame competes in the ACC in most sports while football remains independent, and its national brand gives athletes NIL reach few schools can match. Donor-backed NIL runs through the Rally collective, operating alongside a university that has historically taken a measured approach to commercializing athletics. Notre Dame opted into the House settlement, so since 2025 it can pay athletes directly under the revenue sharing cap of about $20.5 million in year one, growing annually, with football taking the largest share. The school's national television contract with NBC and a global alumni network mean Irish players can land endorsements without a large home market; South Bend itself is small, but the audience is not.
