Lamar NIL.

Lamar is a Southland program in the FCS football and men's basketball NIL market. Lamar sits in the Southland, a FCS 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 Lamar than a generic athlete tag. Enter position, not just "Lamar football."
