Official NIL Collective of Virginia Athletics
We help UVA student-athletes capitalize on their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) for lifetime success.
NIL Marketplace
What is NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness)?
- Ability for college athletes to use their name, image and likeness to be compensated for:
- Traditional endorsements and social media
- Appearances, autographs, and camps
- In-kind deals
- Unique deals like equity and NFTs
- Ability for college athletes to hire a marketing agent, representative, or other professional service provider to assist them.
NIL Is Not…
- Agreements provided without quid pro quo (payments for work not performed)
- Pay-for-play (compensation contingent on athletics participation or performance)
- Recruiting inducement (compensation contingent on enrollment or continued enrollment at an institution)
What We Do
We help UVA student-athletes capitalize on their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) but more importantly, their BRAND for lifetime success.
We offer brand development training for the whole person, not just the short-term NIL Marketplace. Our long-term support consists of
Community Activism, Marketplace Education, Career Development,
and Professional Networking.
OUR Partners
We are successful because of successful partnerships. Our list of NIL partners is growing, and currently includes:
