Transfer Portal and NILs

Post by vandy86 »

I posted this on the football board and no response. Thought I'd try it here.
Is there any place we can go and see how much NIL funds are going to the different athletes at Vanderbilt and other schools?
I noticed on one of the transfer portal sites that they had a NIL amount listed for some of the players. Did this mean that any new school would have to beat this amount if they hoped to sign this particular player? Thanks

To be frank, it's a black box. In theory, the school knows the compensation for a player, but you won't see the figures for any athlete confirmed anywhere. Lots of speculation and innuendo, though.

The various NIL valuations you see out there are estimates based upon known factors such as the number of social media followers, rather than actual NIL deals. Here's a good breakdown of one of them: https://www.on3.com/nil/news/about-on3- ... ost-value/.
