NIL Questions

What is NIL, and why is it important for athletes?

NIL stands for Name, Image, and Likeness. It allows athletes to monetize their personal brand by earning money from sponsorships, endorsements, social media promotions, and more. This is a unique opportunity for college athletes to build wealth while still in school.
