The clearinghouse that checks college athletes' NIL deals turned down 581 of them in September and October, worth $20.21 million. In July and August it had rejected fewer deals, 484, but they were worth $67.08 million. The big-ticket rejections dropped off by about 70 percent.

The numbers come from the College Sports Commission's NIL data report for Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, released Monday. NIL Go, the commission's platform that launched in June 2025, cleared 10,092 deals worth $192.62 million in the two months, the second-highest two-month total since launch, according to Yahoo Sports.

Associated Deals: 6,599 Cleared, Worth $140.5 Million

Most of the money came from what the commission calls associated entities, payors with ties to a school. Those deals accounted for 6,599 clearances worth $140.53 million. Deals with non-associated payors made up 3,493 clearances worth $52.09 million. The commission says associated deals submitted in September and October were 12 percent higher than in any other two-month period since launch.

By BallerTube's math, the average cleared deal was worth about $19,086, and the average rejected deal about $34,785. The commission actioned about 175 deals a day, and 48 percent were resolved within seven days of all required information being in. No deals were in arbitration as of Oct. 31.

$775 Million Cleared Since NIL Go Launched

Since June 2025, the platform has cleared 56,570 deals worth $775.11 million and turned down 2,877 worth $177.14 million. It has 51,368 registered athletes, 1,408 schools and 7,318 agents and other representatives. The report does not break deals down by sport, gender or conference.

The same clearinghouse will review player deals for the new Futures Basketball League for high schoolers, which launched this week. More on athlete pay is on BallerTube's NIL page.
