Ball State NIL.
Ball State is a MAC program in the G5 football and men's basketball NIL market. Ball State sits in the MAC, a G5 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 Ball State than a generic athlete tag. Enter position, not just "Ball State football."
