College Sports Commission Revises NIL Totals After Data Error, Says $35.4 Million Cleared

The commission blamed a Deloitte reporting mistake for overstating approvals in its first public report.

Overview

  • The CSC now says 6,090 NIL deals totaling $35.42 million were cleared through Aug. 31, not the 8,359 deals and $79.8 million initially reported.
  • The earlier figures reflected all deals entered into NIL Go, including pending items, rather than those actually approved.
  • As of Aug. 31, 2,003 deals remain pending with a combined value of $35.99 million, while 332 were denied and 75 were resubmitted; no cases had moved to arbitration.
  • Deloitte, which helped build NIL Go, took responsibility and apologized for mislabeling two data points, and the CSC described early delays as rollout growing pains.
  • Collectives continue to criticize processing speed and transparency, with The Collective Association citing 384 submitted deals from 25 collectives that saw 25 approvals, 120 rejections, and 192 with no response.
