data for this simply do not exist. if you read their methodology, these projections are a fun little project for somebody but these numbers are beyond worthless and backed by a bunch of nonstatistical assumptions.

would be nice to have more transparency into nil if it’s going to be the way players are paid moving forward but as it stands, there is none.
Yep, they say:
To present the data on estimated funding available from NIL Collectives we rely on data from multiple sources as well as certain assumptions regarding the data. Unlike public Universities, virtually all NIL Collectives are privately controlled and have no obligation to publicly report information such as their annual fundraising or how funds are spent. Additionally, most NIL collectives are very protective of their funding.
Accordingly, our estimates are not what specific collectives receive in contributions. Instead, we are providing what we believe to be a reasonable estimate of funding a collective(s) supporting the school might be expected to generate in funding, given the school’s historic level of support from boosters.
Which is a fancy way of saying it's a guestimate.

Which is hilarious when they note them literally down to the dollar.
And they don't include Vanderbilt — if NIL collectives are privately controlled and you're just guessing what they have anyway, why can't you simply guess for them too?
