NIL Tips & Insights

Because knowledge is just as important as opportunity.

Know the Difference

Collectives pool resources to support athletes from a school, while individual NIL deals are direct agreements with brands or companies. Both have different rules, risks, and rewards.

Get It in Writing

Never commit to a school or sign a deal without having the offer in writing. Verbal promises can disappear quickly.

Watch the Fine Print

Exclusivity clauses, long commitments, or deliverables you can’t realistically meet can limit growth.

Think Long-Term

The right deal today should open doors tomorrow — not close them.

Ask Questions

Who pays for what? How is content used? Will this prevent other deals? If it’s not clear, ask.
