Syracuse Orange NIL valuations
110 athletes · ACC · estimated ranges as of August 2026
Syracuse sits in the middle of the ACC's NIL economy, with football and a storied basketball program drawing from the same donor pool. The football side has pushed to raise its profile since Fran Brown took over ahead of the 2024 season, using the transfer portal more aggressively than past staffs, while basketball remains the school's traditional identity in central New York. Under the 2025 House settlement Syracuse can share revenue directly with athletes, capped near 20.5 million dollars in year one and growing annually, in addition to third party deals. Published player level NIL figures for the Orange are uncommon, so most valuations for the roster rest on modeled estimates rather than reported contracts.
