NCAA NIL-contracts

[Kshahdoo]

I've just read that Russian basketball NCAA player Dyomin has earned close to $3M/year for the season by NIL-contracts. That's pretty solid money... Do hockey NCAA players earn anything?

Rumors have consistently been low 6 figures for top players. Porter Martone reportedly has a $250k offer for next season from Penn St. So, it is nowhere near basketball or football money, but it isn't nothing, and notably, for top players, it is more than ELC AHL money.

Found here this table. It is clear, ice-hockey is way behind football and basketball

As an avid college football fan who follows this stuff pretty closely, 15M is absolutely not the average for a football team. Closer to 7M. I’d be shocked if the average D1 hockey team averaged 6 figures in NIL total, much less one player being offered that.

Top college football programs (title contention) are spending well north of 20 million on NIL deals. However, social media has significantly exaggerated these figures. As I have discussed in other threads, the current model is unsustainable, as a sense of donor fatigue has begun to set in. The House Settlement is designed, in part, to rein in these external collectives, which are the primary source of revenue and have effectively created a pay-to-play model. This is being accomplished by establishing an independent body (Deloitte) that will approve or deny any deals exceeding $600, with a particular focus on those pay to play deals.



Regarding hockey, a sport that generally does not generate substantial revenue, , has a niche following, and possesses limited national market appeal and is third or fourth in the pecking order at large FBS schools; I would be quite surprised to see any deals worth a significant amount. As I mentioned earlier, I am very skeptical of the purported $250,000 offer for Martone from Happy Valley United, especially given that they are allocating the vast majority of their revenue collection towards the football program. The other collective at Penn focuses solely on basketball, as it aims to elevate that program to a higher tier.

Depends on how much Terry Pegula is directly giving to Penn State Hockey

Yes, Ohio state spent 30M. They're the outlier. Texas also spends upwards of 20-25M. The other top teams spend 12-15M.

Hockey is not even 3rd of 4th, it's a club sport at most schools. The common model I've seen for revenue distribution is 75% football, 10% MBB, 5% baseball, 5% WBB, 5% other.

Seems like we're on the same page overall.

The major D1 schools who are top schools in football as well as hockey is a very small number. Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State is all I can think of off the top of my head. Part of why Michigan is able to be such an attractive hockey destination. I wouldn't say ASU is a top football school, moreso a benefactor of being in a shit conference.

I'd probably add Notre Dame to the hockey and football group and drop Penn St down into a group with MSU and Minnesota.

This is revenue sharing not NIL
