Colorado State football NIL.
Colorado State is a MWC program in the G5 football NIL market. Colorado State sits in the MWC, 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 Colorado State than a generic athlete tag. Enter position, not just "Colorado State football."
Indicative G5 band: $8,000 – $350,000. Not a published Colorado State contract — a market range before you enter stats.
Colorado State football vs the national average
A national NIL average is useless at Colorado State. MWC G5 spending is its own market. Colorado State helps at the top of the roster; depth is still G5 depth.

Colorado State football FAQ
How much NIL do Colorado State football players make?
At the G5 / MWC tier Colorado State 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 Colorado State pay Power 4 NIL?
No. Colorado State football is G5 (MWC). Power 4 starter money does not automatically apply. The estimator uses division so a Colorado State offer isn't scored like Georgia or Ohio State.
Can I use this if I'm transferring to Colorado State?
Yes. Set school to Colorado State University, conference MWC, division G5. That's how we price inbound portal football — destination market, not the school you're leaving.
Do high school recruits committed to Colorado State get an NIL estimate?
Yes. Choose class year HS, enter recruiting stars, and pick Colorado State 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 MWC market.
