NAME IMAGE LIKENESS: YOUR RIGHTS

Your name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights include the right to control the use of your identity in a commercial landscape. Name, image, and likeness are just three components that encompass your “right of publicity” in NCAA sports. Other components, such as autograph signings and signatures, social media account, nickname, and symbols, can also fall under your NCAA NIL rights.

NCAA NIL rights can help you stop companies from using your branding without deals or permission. For example, strong protection from NIL attorneys will force corporations to compensate you for doing the following:

  • Selling a jersey that includes your name or nickname
  • Featuring you in a commercial or advertisement
  • Including you in a video game or other virtual media

Athletes should receive compensation in most instances when a company uses their branding to make money with no business deal.

Name Image and Likeness NIL rights are constantly shifting under new state legislation and NCAA eligibility policies. As knowledgeable NIL lawyers, we can be a game changer and business partner and help you benefit and navigate these complex rules to maintain your rights to making money and ensure that you receive adequate compensation for any unauthorized non compliance NIL scenarios.

We are a call away!
