Recruits: .Big Ten Football 🤝 State of Illinois. Not only has the Big Ten grossed the most NIL money of any conference, but the state of Illinois ranks top 7 amongst all states. #FamILLy.
New NIL data from @Opendorse for July and August on its platform:. Big Ten athletes have grossed the most NIL compensation. Ohio athletes made more than those from any other state. And football players are responsible for 60% of all NIL compensation.
