Game On! What You Need to Know About NIL Rights for Student Athletes (2023 Sports & Entertainment Law Section Program)


Allowing student athletes to gain financial benefits from name, image and likeness (NIL) provides new opportunities and new hurdles for student athletes, schools, collectives and attorneys. To help attorneys understand what NIL means for student athletes, we warm up with the basics.
