Inside the South Florida NIL market
South Florida competes in the American at the G5 level. The Sideline's best current estimate for its varsity-athlete market is $14.8M. This is an independent market estimate, not reported school payroll or a sum of signed contracts.
- Current market estimate: $14.8M, ranking #75 nationally and #2 in the American. The sport pools and active-player allocations reconcile to this one school total.
- Where the value is concentrated: Football $7M, Men's Basketball $4.3M, Other Sports $3.4M.
- Current NIL setup: The evidence ledger does not yet verify a school-specific collective or department-run NIL program for South Florida, so this page does not assign one. The estimate uses active rosters, player evidence, recruiting profile, sport economics, and American market context.
- Evidence behind this page: The estimate uses active-roster composition, player evidence, recruiting profile, sport economics, and American market context. ESPN supplies roster biography data, not NIL values.
- Notable public figures: No school-wide audited NIL total is currently in The Sideline evidence ledger. The most useful public figures are the Football allocation of $7M and the #75 national market position.
- Latest update: Data refreshed July 18, 2026. The Sideline Data Desk owns the estimates, sport allocations, rankings, audits, and corrections. Read the full methodology.
