Data Disclaimer
Revenue share averages are estimates based on publicly reported school allocations and vary by sport, roster position, and individual allocation decisions. Schools have full discretion in how they distribute the $20.5M cap. Verify current figures with each school's athletic compliance office before making any decision.
What to Compare Beyond This Tool
Coaching Staff Tenure Coaches under long-term contracts can protect your revenue share allocation. Coaching turnover changes everything.
Playing Time Projection Revenue share allocations are often tied to expected role and visibility. A depth player at a P4 school may earn less than a starter at G5.
Portal Success Rate How many transfer portal athletes succeed athletically at this program? Some schools absorb transfers well; others don't develop them.
Brand Deal Market Size A school in a top-10 media market (LA, NYC, Atlanta) gives you far more organic deal access than a school in a smaller market — regardless of conference.
Cost of Living $280K at a school in Tuscaloosa goes further than $280K in Los Angeles. Real purchasing power matters when evaluating offers.
