The Athletic Director's Guide to NIL: What ADs Must Know
State-by-state rules, compliance, program-wide policies, and vendor selection for ADs navigating NIL.
Why this matters in 2026
The athlete economy has changed faster in the last three years than in the previous thirty. NIL is now a $1B+ market, brands are spending direct-to-athlete budgets that used to route through agencies, and programs are being measured on how well their athletes convert into pro or post-collegiate careers. If you're on any side of this equation — athlete, agent, brand, or program — the operating system you use matters as much as the talent you carry.
