How do you think these compare per player? I think NFL is not public information and goes through the NFLPA CBA. Assume the players get paid NIL from that union. With CFB players they are contracting direct with EA and get the base $600 if they contract but can add more for being ambassadors and other roles like cover boys.

with more players, you would think CFB NIL value would be much lower than NFL.

CBA, a contract between the NFL and the Players' Association, has nothing to do with it. EA Sports has contract with the NFLPA for use of players' NIL. Where does the money go? Not directly to the players. Best guess is that it funds retirement benefits.

EA also has contracts with the NFL, each team, and stadium owners (among others) for use of their NIL.
