Colgate NIL.
Colgate is a Patriot League program in the FCS football and men's basketball NIL market. Athletes transferring into Colgate football are priced against other Patriot League FCS destinations — not against a national average that doesn't apply in this market. If you're leaving Colgate for the portal, the number that matters is what the next FCS roster will pay a football player with your snaps and production, not last year's Colgate depth chart.
Questions about Colgate NIL
How much NIL do Colgate football players make?
At the FCS / Patriot League tier Colgate plays in, typical football NIL bands run $2,000–$80,000. 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 Colgate pay Power 4 NIL?
No. Colgate football is FCS (Patriot League). Power 4 starter money does not automatically apply. The estimator uses division so a Colgate offer isn't scored like Georgia or Ohio State.
Can I use this if I'm transferring to Colgate?
Yes. Set school to Colgate University, conference Patriot League, division FCS. That's how we price inbound portal football — destination market, not the school you're leaving.
Do high school recruits committed to Colgate get an NIL estimate?
Yes. Choose class year HS, enter recruiting stars, and pick Colgate 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 Patriot League market.
How much NIL do Colgate men's basketball players make?
