Big opportunities. Smart guidance. Total clarity. We’re here to help you navigate the world of NIL—so you can focus on playing, not paperwork.
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
