NAME, IMAGE, LIKENESS (NIL)

Student-athletes may receive compensation from third parties for use of their name, image and likeness (NIL), such as social media posts, brand appearances or promoting products and services. All three NCAA divisions support opportunities for student-athletes to pursue NIL consistent with rules that protect fair competition.

What counts as an NIL deal?

An NIL deal is any agreement where you are compensated (money, products or services) for allowing a company, brand or person to use your name, image or likeness, such as social posts, event appearances or endorsements

Examples of NIL activities

Social media posts or content for a brand
Autograph signings, camps or clinics you host
Appearances in commercials or promotional events
Endorsement or sponsorship agreements

What’s allowed vs. not allowed

Allowed when all are true:

You are paid specifically for use of your NIL, such as ads, posts or appearances
The deal has a valid business purpose tied to a real product, service or event offered to the public
Compensation is within a reasonable range for people with similar fame or influence
You may use an agent or marketing professional for NIL activities

Not allowed:

Pay with no required promotional activity or deliverables
Agreements that say your NIL will be used later with no defined plan
Pay-for-play, including payment to attend or compete for a specific school or compensation for athletics participation or achievement
Compensation outside a reasonable range for similar deals

If you have any further questions contact the compliance office.
