Media Appearances
NILnomics is a research and analytics platform covering the business of college sports. We build original data infrastructure — drawing on public filings, financial disclosures, and athletic department records across hundreds of institutions — to power in-depth reporting, interactive dashboards, and financial models. Our work helps administrators, agents, and industry leaders understand how athletic departments raise, spend, and report money. Founded by a data analyst with a PhD in NCAA financial policy, NILnomics pairs academic rigor with decision-ready analysis.
NILnomics is frequently featured in articles, podcasts, and presents to the public. Below is a list of some of these appearances. Updated as new appearances are added.
