Albany NIL.
Albany is a CAA program in the FCS football and men's basketball NIL market. Albany sits in the CAA, a FCS football market. Collectives and brand deals here do not move like a Group of 5 leftover or a Power 4 blue-blood — the calculator asks for school on purpose. Premium positions (QB, EDGE, portal guards) move more at Albany than a generic athlete tag. Enter position, not just "Albany football."

Does Albany pay Power 4 NIL?
No. Albany football is FCS (CAA). Power 4 starter money does not automatically apply. The estimator uses division so a Albany offer isn't scored like Georgia or Ohio State.

Yes. Choose class year HS, enter recruiting stars, and pick Albany 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 CAA market.
