Parents often come to us with the same handful of questions. Here are straightforward answers, with the honest caveat that NIL rules depend on your state, your athletic association and your school.

Is my child allowed to do NIL?

It depends. High school and college rules differ, and they change. Before any activity, check the current rules from your state athletic association and your school, and ask any agency how it does the same.

Will NIL affect eligibility?

It can if an activity breaks the rules that apply. That is why every opportunity should be reviewed before it is accepted, not after.

What should I watch out for?

  • Anyone promising guaranteed money, scholarships or recruiting results
  • Pressure to sign quickly
  • Agreements you are not given time to read or have reviewed
