How Sports NIL Works

Sports NIL allows athletes to enter agreements where they provide something of value — their name, image, likeness, time or content — in exchange for compensation.

  • Content creation and UGC campaigns
  • Camps, clinics and lessons
  • Brand ambassador programs
  • Merchandise and licensing
