LAS VEGAS — The top Power 5 quarterbacks earn an average of nearly $200,000 in compensation for their name, image and likeness each year, according to new figures revealed this week.
Opendorse, one of the largest NIL platforms in the industry, released data as part of an announcement on Wednesday of the Opendorse “NIL Book,” which provides earnings expectations for college athletes. The physical book, kept confidential and private, is only available for schools that are Opendorse partners and contribute data from NIL disclosures and transactions.
The book includes expected NIL earnings for each position group by division, including FBS, Power 5, Group of 5, FCS, NCAA D-II, NCAA D-III, NAIA and NJCAA. Earnings are also divided by conference. The book will be distributed twice annually, January and July, to college athletic departments, conferences, NIL collectives and talent agencies.
