Colorado NIL.
Colorado — the Buffaloes in Boulder, CO is a Big 12 program in the P4 football and men's basketball NIL market. Colorado sits in the Big 12, a P4 football market.

Can I use this if I'm transferring to Colorado?
Yes. Set school to University of Colorado, conference Big 12, division P4. That's how we price inbound portal football — destination market, not the school you're leaving.
Do high school recruits committed to Colorado get an NIL estimate?
Yes. Choose class year HS, enter recruiting stars, and pick Colorado 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 Big 12 market.
