Why You Should Take Our Name, Image, and Likeness Online Course
Since the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) interim Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) policy went into effect on July 1st, 2021, college athletes across the country have been signing deals. The vast majority of these deals come in the form of social media posts from athletes' accounts as a form of direct-to-consumer advertising. In our 8-week online course, we'll teach you how NIL has changed the landscape of college athletics, the power of an athlete's brand, how agents can secure deals for clients, and what athletes need to know about signing NIL deals.
The time is now to stay up-to-date with the changes that have come to college sports. When you register for our 8-week online Name, Image, and Likeness course you’ll learn how to properly identify and secure a fair NIL deal, develop a student-athlete's brand, understand the legalities of NIL, and job opportunities within NIL. Whether you're a Student-Athlete, Agent, Athletic Director, Coach, Parent or College Adminstrator, this class will benefit your career.
Who Should Take Our Name, Images, and Likeness Online Course?
Since the July 1st, 2021 policy has been in place, thousands of college athletes have secured deals, which means the floodgates have opened to NIL. College Athletes like Haley and Hanna Cavinder, a.k.a The Cavinder Twins, Bryce Young, Jade Carey, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and more have all secured NIL deals during their time in college.
What's the leading cause behind these deals being struck? Social media. The influence of TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter, is a driving force behind an athlete's ability to secure an NIL deal.
