The New Era of College Athletics – Navigating NIL and Collectives

Name Image and Likeness (NIL) agreements present new opportunities, challenges, and compliance issues for student athletes, IHEs, and their business partners. This session explores the role of Collectives in the context of NIL, including revenue generation and resulting agreements. Collectives and schools must be aware of considerations related to responsibly engaging with student athletes and colleges and universities; structuring contractual agreements that respect NCAA rules, institutional policies, and immigration concerns; anticipating regulatory and public scrutiny.

Please join Hunton, Grant Thornton, and a Senior Professional and College Basketball Licensing Executive, for a virtual session where we will discuss:

• How collectives can responsibly structure and broker agreements
• Legal implications of third-party agreements facilitated by collectives
• Emerging trends in university–collective partnerships and their impact on funding and compliance
• Immigration law considerations and visa restrictions impacting NIL deals with student athletes
