The Wild & Chaotic NIL Landscape
The liberation of college athletics to NIL deals presents student's with ample opportunity… and risks
The world of name, image, and likeness (NIL) has opened up massive opportunities for college athletes. Headlines scream about mega-deals for star quarterbacks and generational basketball talents, but the vast majority of athletes are left wandering the confusing maze with little to no guidance. This lack of a structure leaves athletes vulnerable to exploitation and potential scams.
The current NIL free-for-all is a scammer's paradise. Unprepared athletes get promised too-good-to-be-true offers with contracts scribbled on napkins (or even more frequently, Instagram DMs), if they’re written down at all; they’re pressured into signing exploitive contracts without understanding the impact key details of the agreement can have on their future intellectual property or content; or in the worst case scenarios, as detailed extensively in a recent Bloomberg feature, students are finding themselves the targets of outrageous exploitive behavior to criminal scams.
