Kennyhertz Perry’s Mit Winter Discusses Current NIL Landscape in College Athletics
NCAA college athletes gained the ability to monetize their name, image, and likeness on July 1, 2021. Since that time, there has been a flurry of action around NIL with athletes entering into thousands of deals, NIL collectives being established, and schools providing various NIL services for their athletes. At the same time, there is still some uncertainty around what types of NIL activities are prohibited, especially for university boosters. Mit Winter joined sports radio show The Beat of Sports on 96.9 The Game to discuss these and other NIL-related issued.
