In a major increase, CSC clears more than $227M worth of NIL deals in July and August

The College Sports Commission (CSC) processed over $227 million worth of name, image and likeness (NIL) deals in July and August, nearly doubling the value of all deals cleared during its first year. The commission's streamlined NIL Go platform and increased personnel contributed to the boost in deals cleared. With 29 full-time employees, including 12 dedicated to NIL Go, the agency processed an average of more than 200 deals per day, up from 94 in its first year.

Of the $227 million in deals, $188.6 million involved associated entities, while the rest were between players and outside sponsors. The CSC ensures NIL contracts between players and affiliated entities are legitimate and at fair market value.
