Name, image and likeness (NIL) deals are on the rise now that the NCAA allows college athletes to earn money without losing their eligibility to play. Field2Fame helps student-athletes responsibly pursue compensation in the rapidly evolving world of commercial NIL opportunities, endorsements, and influencer agreements.
The new rules, at both the state and NCAA levels, recognize an athlete’s right to seek advice and guidance from professionals (including lawyers, agents, and financial advisors) about how to consider these opportunities. Field2Fame is committed to providing assistance that helps structure your business deals to further your financial, brand, and personal goals.
