[QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5083568, member: 405"]
I did research on this for a talk I gave at Newhouse a couple months ago.

Starters on D1 / P5 teams make an average of about $75-85,000.
Starters on a G5 team make about $25-35,000.
Bench players make less, but most of them get something.

Football players probably have greater disparity in NIL money within a team, since the rosters are so much bigger, although the dollars are bigger, too.

Basketball teams probably have more similar NIL numbers among members of a team, just because the budget can be spread among fewer of them.

Lower divisions (D2 and even D3) are also getting NIL money, but it's more like $5-10,000 a year, and not everyone gets money, only the star players.

On the other end of the spectrum, star players on good teams make more.  All-Americans can get anywhere from $2-5M on the football side, especially QBs.

You have to look at it like it's a continuum - a market-driven price.

You see that experienced guys in the portal who fill a need for a good team can command six figures.  That's kind of the market, but it seems like this spring, basketball prices have been rising for the best 50-100 transfers.
