Parity’s newest series breaks down all that collegiate student-athletes need to know about name, image, and likeness (NIL) including personal branding, approaching brands, monetization, and financial literacy!
Keep reading to see exactly what you’ll be learning in this video series, led by U.S. Olympians Kara Winger, Lauryn Williams, and Lauren Gibbs, as well as viral sensation and Oregon basketball star Sedona Prince and Euroleague champion Karlie Samuelson.
So, what is name, image, and likeness?
In June of 2021, the NCAA passed a policy following the ruling of the NCAA vs. Alston case, allowing collegiate athletes “the opportunity to benefit from their name, image, and likeness.” Basically, student-athletes were given the OK to be compensated for their likeness and athletic performances, obtain sponsorships, get paid for social media posts, and to sign endorsement deals or with agents. Prior to this, athletes were unable to receive any money for sales using their NIL.
With the policy passing fairly recently, there’s a lot of information that you may not quite be sure how to navigate.
Thankfully, these videos in our newest video series lay the foundation for how you can make the most of the latest NIL Guidelines — learn how to maneuver new opportunities, build your network, and create lasting partnerships with brands that you want to work with!
In these next few clips, hear from Sedona Prince herself, who created a ripple of lasting change in the NCAA with just one viral Tik Tok. You can, too!
The more successful your content, the more likely you are to have a wider range of opportunities. Learn about how Sedona makes the most of the content she creates by navigating the nuances of NIL, like choosing your main social platforms and appropriately communicating with brands.
