In addition, intercollegiate student-athletes have the ability to retain an agent relating to this compensation.

Generally speaking, all NIL activities are permitted, as they follow these four guidelines: There must be quid pro quo attached to an NIL deal essentially requiring a student-athlete to do an activity in order to receive compensation. That activity cannot be tied to athletic performance such as statistical achievements, wins, or awards. That activity cannot be contingent upon the student-athlete committing to the university that the collective supports or tied to enrollment. Institutions do not provide compensation in exchange for the use of a student-athlete’s NIL. NCAA rules also require student-athletes to follow their state law or institutional policy if there is no existing state law governing NIL activities.
