NIL

NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) in college sports

Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) allows college athletes to earn compensation from endorsements. NIL is separate from recruiting—but families should understand how branding and compliance interact with the recruiting process.

Who it is for: Student-athletes and parents learning how NIL fits alongside recruiting—not before it.
