Jeff Goodman of The Field of 68 recently polled more than 25 high-major college basketball coaches about current NIL numbers.
Goodman discovered that elite players are making as much as $4 million per year and even bench players are earning six figures.
The coaches Goodman spoke too said elite players (the top 10-15 guys in the sport) are making somewhere in the range of $2.5 to $4 million. Players that are projected to be all-league type players are getting something like $1.5 to $2.5 million.
Projected starters on high major teams are earning $500,000 to $1.
