About NIL

WHAT IS NIL?

Name, Image, and Likeness rules allow college athletes to be compensated for who they are.

Sponsorships

Athletes endorse local and national brands in a genuine, community-driven way.

Appearances

Athletes attend events, sign autographs, and engage fans through memorable experiences.

Merchandise

Licensed NIL merchandise featuring your favorite athletes — members get first access.

Community Service

NIL activity is directed toward the six local charities chosen by athletes each year.

Content Creation

Athletes create authentic content for partner brands — social, podcasts, appearances.

Revenue Sharing

Under the House v. NCAA settlement, qualifying athletes now receive a direct revenue share.

NIL payments cannot be used for "pay for play." All activities must include a genuine value exchange. Consult your tax advisor regarding deductibility. The Fan Engine operates independently at each school under applicable NCAA and state regulations.
