Per J&C through an open records request. Here are the Purdue numbers from Year 1 (as of June 21, 2022):

Using the ratio's unweighted by sport (which I'm sure football/basketball are more weighted), if there's 85 scholarship football players, 17.5% or 15 players are getting money.

So to put the numbers into quick statistics
- .4% (2) of Purdue athletes made >25k in NIL
- 17% (78) of Purdue athletes made on average $1,540 in NIL

The details:
- About ~180k total value of transactions
- 17.5% (80/457) athletes in 15 sports with 166 NIL transactions
- Avg ~$1,080 transaction
- Avg $2,250 per participating athlete
- Largest 35k (endorsement) and 25k (internship) = 60k

The details factoring out the two biggest NIL deals (60k)
- 17% (78/455) athletes received ~120k for 164 NIL transactions
- Avg $730/transaction.
- Avg $1,540 per participating athlete

Just shows that we need to pick up the pace with this, if we don't want to be left in the dust behind other programs.

If it was $180K for the entire year 1 for everyone at Purdue, you look at places like Texas's OL lineman all making $50K a year, and realize that we don't have a chance in recruiting against some of these programs.

Booker to MSU this weekend. You cannot tell me that we didn't win some of that Mega Millions lottery money.

Forget about competing with Texas for recruits. Never has, never will. The problem is you’ve got second tier schools like Texas Tech handing out 25k to their entire team now.

Louisiana passed a law that any NIL contract shall be confidential and not subject to Public Record Law. Other states like Kentucky are considering the same (Calipari endorsed).
 
INFLCR published aggregate data about the deals struck on their platforms on the first year of NIL rules.

https://businessofcollegesports.com/name-image-likeness/all-the-stats-for-year-1-of-nil/

INFLCR big picture view:
Average value of all NIL transactions: $1,815
Median value of all NIL transactions: $53
Average value of Power 5 NIL deals: $2,144
Average value of Non-Power 5 NIL deals: $558

Football tops the chart for both number of transactions and transaction value at the Power 5 level, although men’s basketball beats out football outside of the Power 5.

And while social media transactions accounted for the bulk of NIL deals at 61% of all deals, autographs, entrepreneurship, public appearances and camps and lessons topped social media in terms of financial value. Here's a chart for the different transaction types.

Opendorse published aggregate data about the deals struck on their platforms on the first year of NIL rules. There are lots of good charts / info in this link for Opendorse, if you want to know more take a look.

https://businessofcollegesports.com/name-image-likeness/all-the-stats-for-year-1-of-nil/

Opendorse estimates college athletes earned $917 million in Year 1 of NIL, and it projects Year 2 could reach $1.14 billion. Examining data from its Opendorse Premium users, the Year 1 report from Opendorse shows 76% of athletes on the platform received at least one deal. The numbers break down further by type of deal:

74% received an NIL deal from a brand
15% received an NIL deal from a donor
4% received an NIL deal from a fan
35% of all Division I compensation came from donors, with an average monthly NIL compensation of $1,012.

Men completed 62.7% of the deals disclosed on the platform, but if you take football out of the equation the story changes. Without football, women account for 52.8% of the deals.

In terms of types of NIL deals, Opendorse saw social media posting dominate other types of NIL activities, which differs from the INFLCR data. A whopping 67.6% of the activities are "posting content" and "posting content" also leads in total compensation at 34%.
