Idaho football NIL.
Idaho is a Big Sky program in the FCS football NIL market. High school recruits committed to Idaho should run an estimate before signing day. Active 4-star football recruits have a $400,000 expected-NIL floor on TransferMetrics; 3-stars are priced on projection and the Big Sky market. Current Idaho football players use this to check whether a portal rumor or a collective number is actually above market for Big Sky FCS.
Indicative FCS band: $2,000 – $80,000. Not a published Idaho contract — a market range before you enter stats.
What a Idaho offer should clear
Compare any Idaho football offer to your expected value, not a message-board screenshot. FCS bands here typically $2,000–$80,000. ABOVE / AT / BELOW is how we tag each offer after you estimate.
Big Sky context for Idaho
Idaho is priced with other Big Sky programs, not as a generic FCS tag. Neighboring schools in the same league can still pay differently by position — that's why school is a required field.
Idaho football positions
Position still dominates at Idaho. These guides use national football ranges — your school is Big Sky FCS.
Idaho football FAQ
How much NIL do Idaho football players make?
At the FCS / Big Sky tier Idaho 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 Idaho pay Power 4 NIL?
No. Idaho football is FCS (Big Sky). Power 4 starter money does not automatically apply. The estimator uses division so a Idaho offer isn't scored like Georgia or Ohio State.
Can I use this if I'm transferring to Idaho?
Yes. Set school to University of Idaho, conference Big Sky, division FCS. That's how we price inbound portal football — destination market, not the school you're leaving.
Do high school recruits committed to Idaho get an NIL estimate?
Yes. Choose class year HS, enter recruiting stars, and pick Idaho 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 Sky market.
