Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be an Activate Sports Management business or athlete?
By being an Activate Sports Management Partner or Athlete, it means you have verbally expressed your interest in being introduced to one or the other to talk about potential economic opportunities.
What is NIL?
NIL stands for “Name, Image, and Likeness” specifically referring to the use of an athlete’s NIL through marketing and promotional endeavors. Student-athletes at NCAA institutions could begin monetizing their NIL beginning on July 1, 2021.
What are the NCAA rules regarding NIL?
Generally speaking, all NIL activities are permitted, as they follow these four guidelines:
- There must be quid pro quo attached to an NIL deal essentially requiring a student-athlete to do an activity in order to receive compensation.
- That activity cannot be tied to athletic performance such as statistical achievements, wins, or awards.
- That activity cannot be contingent upon the student-athlete committing to the university that the collective supports or tied to enrollment.
- Institutions do not provide compensation in exchange for the use of a student-athlete’s NIL.
NCAA rules also require student-athletes to follow their state law.
Does Arizona have a state law governing NIL?
Yes. It can be found here:
Does Activate Sports Management work with perspective student-athletes?
