Name Image Likeness (NIL)

Opportunities for student-athletes to earn income from their NIL are plentiful and can include participation in product advertisements and placement in print ads, television ads, and with radio appearances as well as billboards. Social media also will present a new frontier for student-athletes to monetize exposure and gain financial opportunity through NIL. Student-athletes may also be in a position to receive appearance fees at stores, venues, and events and may also be able to engage in other ways like participation in autograph signings and offering paid private coaching sessions.

Consulting with a reputable sports marketing agency before engaging in any business venture is always recommended whether you are an athlete or parent of one. Monetizing your NIL is no exception especially because of strict NCAA compliance and eligibility considerations.
