The Washington Post has created a series of interactive visualizations depicting payouts to college athletes for use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL) from July 2021 to July 2024, using analysis of financial reports from eight public universities that shared the data. The visualization above shows payments for more than $20,000 but less than $100,000 in college football (dark green), men’s basketball (medium green), other men’s sports (light green), and women’s sports (beige). According to the visualization, football players earned more high-value NIL payments than athletes in other sports.
