Fanstake's Revenue Share Fair Market Value (FMV) is our
independent, dynamic estimate of a player's on-field value to
college programs. Our model weighs more than a dozen factors —
including positional demand, experience, statistical performance,
strength of competition, team performance, comparable players,
upside potential, and proprietary signals informed by our
proximity to college programs — to estimate a player's share of
the $20.5M revenue pool schools can now distribute directly to
athletes.
FMV is not a disclosure of what a player actually earns.
Actual compensation may be higher or lower, and in practice,
player packages are often negotiated as a combination of revenue
share and NIL opportunities.
The goal of Fanstake FMV is simple: to give fans a transparent,
data-driven benchmark for understanding player value in the new
era of college athletics.
