Methodology
The NILmetrics Score is a 0-100 rating that combines on-court performance, market demand signals, social presence, and risk assessment into a single number. Like Elo for chess or KenPom for basketball, it measures a player's relative standing in the college basketball NIL market — not a guaranteed dollar value or future deal price.
Performance weighs recent box-score production. Market reflects program tier, conference visibility, and demand signals. Social captures verified follower scale. Risk Assessment rewards durable availability over a full sample (a higher score means lower risk). Scores recalculate daily after the overnight game sync, with a full data refresh every Sunday.
