College Sports Commission Releases NIL Deal Flow Report
May 7th, 2026 – Today, the College Sports Commission released its NIL Deal Flow Report, highlighting third-party NIL activity across Division I athletics from March and April 2026, as well as cumulative figures since NIL Go’s launch.
Highlights:
Between March 1 and April 30:
The CSC cleared over 5,500 deals worth a total value of $75.85 million — nearly double the $39.29 million cleared in the previous two-month period.
442 deals worth a total value of $26.87 million were not cleared.
Since the NIL Go platform launched on June 11, 2025, and through April 30, 2026:
26,556 deals worth a total value of $242.35 million have been cleared.
1,153 deals worth a total value of $56.17 million have been not cleared since the launch of NIL Go.
45% of deals submitted to NIL Go were resolved within 24 hours. The significant increase in Associated deal volume since January has led to a decrease in the percentage of deals resolved within 24 hours of submission, since Associated deals require additional review.
66% of deals reached resolution within seven days following completion of all information fields in NIL Go. In many of the remaining 34% of deals, the CSC must seek additional information from the student-athlete, deal sponsor, or institution via communication outside of the software platform to make a determination on the deal. The CSC often is able to make determinations on these deals within seven days of receiving such additional information, but NIL Go currently does not allow us to readily calculate this percentage. The CSC is working to update the platform in the coming months so that all or most communication occurs within NIL Go and those percentages can be calculated precisely.
As of April 30, 21 deals in arbitration have been consolidated into three arbitrations.
