Sports Law: The Basics of NIL Deals

The rules regarding a college athlete's ability to profit off themselves have evolved substantially in recent years. These rules, known as the NIL rules, dictate how and from whom an athlete can receive compensation before going pro. As these rules can have a substantial effect on a young athlete's career, it is important that sports lawyers keep up to date with the current state of the NIL. In this program, sports attorney Brandon Leopoldus will guide viewers through the past, present, and future of NIL deals. Mr. Leopoldus will cover the key cases that have changed NIL rules recently, the effect that these cases have had on student athletes, the basics of NIL deals, and the issues surrounding NIL collectives and companies.
