Name, Image and Likeness (“NIL”) rights of student-athletes has completely transformed the concept of “amateur” athletics, and the changes are far from finished. The extent and impacts of NIL rights on non-professional athletics has generated wide-spread public commentary, significant litigation and proposed federal legislation. Given the volatile nature of this area, staying ahead of and current on the present and future developments is key for any individual or entity that is or wishes to be involved in this area.

• The recent legal developments on NIL rights for student-athletes, and the impacts of those developments;

• The future of this area and what to expect based on the current developments; and

• Guidance on compliance and best practices for student-athletes, academic institutions, and other individuals or entities wishing to engage in this area.
