Thought this was interesting -

NIL Industry Insights - Opendorse

Top 25 (All-NCAA) by compensation:

#17 - NSIC
#24 - Pacific West Conference

Top 25 (All-NCAA) by total deals signed:

#12 - NSIC
#20 - Lone Star Conference
#25 - MIAA

Average D2 NIL deal value: $204.00

Interestingly, the average D3 deal is $309.00 - probably wealthier schools with big donors.

I didn't either. I have the specifics for Mankato, but it would be neat to know how many each school in the conference had.

What I don't know is if they lumped hockey in with the NSIC, but I can't imagine they would have since the GLIAC wasn't on the list anywhere.

For D2 players to make any major NIL money they may need to establish an online presence too.

Bingo. It's going to be about starting a personal brand online and finding a way to profit from it.

My original prediction was we'd see NIL in D2, but it would be for lunch money type deals. Looks like that came true. Neat.
