Akron NIL.
Akron is a MAC program in the G5 football and men's basketball NIL market. Athletes transferring into Akron football are priced against other MAC G5 destinations — not against a national average that doesn't apply in this market. If you're leaving Akron for the portal, the number that matters is what the next G5 roster will pay a football player with your snaps and production, not last year's Akron depth chart.
Questions about Akron NIL
How much NIL do Akron football players make?
At the G5 / MAC tier Akron plays in, typical football NIL bands run $8,000–$350,000. Starters and portal additions sit toward the top; depth sits toward the bottom. Run the calculator with your snaps for a file-specific number.
Does Akron pay Power 4 NIL?
No. Akron football is G5 (MAC). Power 4 starter money does not automatically apply. The estimator uses division so a Akron offer isn't scored like Georgia or Ohio State.
Can I use this if I'm transferring to Akron?
Yes. Set school to University of Akron, conference MAC, division G5. That's how we price inbound portal football — destination market, not the school you're leaving.
Do high school recruits committed to Akron get an NIL estimate?
Yes. Choose class year HS, enter recruiting stars, and pick Akron as the committed/projected school. Active 4-star and 5-star recruits have a $400k expected-NIL floor; everyone else is priced on projection plus the MAC market.
How much NIL do Akron men's basketball players make?
At the G5 / MAC tier Akron plays in, typical men's basketball NIL bands run $10,000–$250,000. Starters and portal additions sit toward the top; depth sits toward the bottom. Run the calculator with your snaps for a file-specific number.
