NIL Legal Landscape Is Changing: What You Need to Know

A groundbreaking settlement between the U.S. Department of Justice and the NCAA is set to dramatically shift the structure of scholarships and NIL compensation.

Starting July 1, 2025, for the 2025–26 season across all NCAA sports, athletic scholarships will be replaced by formal contracts between student-athletes and universities.

These contracts will function like professional agreements—with defined terms, durations, financial compensation, penalties, and specific conditions. Early guidance suggests that most universities are leaning toward 2-year contracts as the standard.

To ensure student-athletes are fully protected, these contracts must be carefully drafted to cover:

  • NIL compensation

  • Playing-related income

  • Injury clauses

  • Tax implications

  • Penalties and performance terms

  • Contract options and renewals

Our legal partner, Miles Jordan of Jordan Sports Group, is closely monitoring these changes and is prepared to help families and athletes navigate this complex new era with the legal protection they need.
