What is NIL and Why It Matters for Student-Athletes Today
Understanding NIL: Name, Image, and Likeness
Imagine being able to turn your passion into profit while still in school. That’s what NIL — Name, Image, and Likeness — is all about. It gives student-athletes the legal right to earn money from their personal brand — from autograph signings to social media partnerships, merchandise sales, and more. It’s about ownership. It’s about opportunity.
And now, it’s your time.
Why NIL Is a Game-Changer for Student-Athletes
NIL regulations, recently adopted by the NCAA, have transformed the college sports landscape. For years, student-athletes contributed to billion-dollar industries with no share in the spotlight beyond game day. Now, athletes like you can:
✅ Sign endorsement deals
✅ Sell branded merchandise
✅ Create monetized content
✅ Receive sponsorships
✅ Build your entrepreneurial brand
