Nobody more deserving. Blake saw NIL coming years before the rest of the world did, and that vision let us build a company around a conviction most people thought was early or wrong. @opendorse does not exist without his foresight, and this vertical looks a lot different without his influence. Proud of my cofounder and best friend. Congrats brother @BlakeLawrence

In the past year, we saw more small college NIL deals than the first four years COMBINED. That's why we built our first-ever report breaking down the overlooked economy of small college NIL. Download it for FREE: biz.opendorse.com/state-of-n…

Thousands of NIL deals came through Opendorse over the last year. So what does a typical NIL deal look like in 2026?

This time last year, schools began spending up to the $21.3M revenue-sharing cap. But it doesn’t stop there. Download the 2026 Annual NIL Report to see where the money is coming from. biz.opendorse.com/annual-nil…

Five years of NIL and the college basketball conversation is still mostly vibes and hot takes. So we put the data together. New report just dropped. 🔥 📥 biz.opendorse.com/college-ba…

Does NIL kill the Cinderella story or empower it? The data says both. Top programs are separating, but mid major stars can now monetize breakout tournament moments in real time.
