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

Congratulations to Blake Lawrence of @opendorse on being selected to the 100 Most Influential People in the NIL Space list.

We have spent years helping athletes nationwide create better content at our NIL Media Days.

But why stop there?

All eyes will be on AT&T Stadium tomorrow night for Spikes Under the Lights.

Before first serve, we compiled the 10 most-followed athletes in college volleyball.

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.

Thousands of NIL deals came through Opendorse over the last year.

So what does a typical NIL deal look like in 2026?

I'm telling you this is gonna be a tough match"

Opendorse is projecting college athlete compensation - rev-share + third party pay - to exceed $4 billion this coming year, per its annual NIL Report.

A Big Ten school’s annual average spend exceeds all others at $48M, followed by the SEC ($44M), ACC ($28M) and Big 12 ($24M).

This time last year, schools began spending up to the $21.3M revenue-sharing cap.

But it doesn’t stop there.

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. 🔥

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.

This report doesn't happen without an incredible team. Shoutout to our data team (you know who you are 😉) for bringing this to life.

Go download it and share.
