Report covers football by position group, men’s and women’s basketball by conference and other sports by A4 vs. non-A4 schools
TYSONS, Va. — The College Sports Commission (CSC) has published aggregated and anonymized student-athlete compensation data from the College Athlete Payment System (CAPS) and NIL Go, the two reporting platforms built pursuant to the injunctive relief settlement in House v. NCAA. CAPS records revenue-sharing payments from schools to student-athletes, and NIL Go is the clearinghouse for third-party name, image and likeness (NIL) deals.
The report covers different date ranges varying by sport and reports percentile-level institutional and non-institutional compensation across the following cohorts:
· Football, by position group, for the A4 conferences and for non-A4 schools.
· Men’s basketball, for the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC and for non-A4 schools.
· Women’s basketball, for the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC and for non-A4 schools.
· Other sports, listed individually, for the A4 conferences and for non-A4 schools.
A4 refers to the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten and SEC collectively, while non-A4 refers to schools outside those four conferences.
Data from some sports is unavailable to report because there are not enough data points to provide useful aggregate information while maintaining anonymity. No individual student-athlete, school or individual deal is identified.
During the first year of revenue sharing, which ended on June 30, 2026, the CSC recorded $1.77 billion in direct payments from schools to student-athletes in CAPS. Additionally, 46,478 NIL deals were cleared in NIL Go with an aggregate value of $582.49 million through August 31, 2026.
“This is the first time compensation data of this kind has been published for college sports. The CSC is making this aggregated, anonymized information available to student-athletes, schools, and the public to help people make better informed decisions while preserving the confidentiality of individual agreements,” said Bryan Seeley, CEO of the College Sports Commission.
