Native America Calling: The game is changing for student athletes
Thursday, February 27, 2025
Capitalizing on name, image, and likeness is changing the game for student athletes
Compensation for college athletics is changing fast.
University sports programs are having to adapt to the evolving market for athletes through what is known as name, image and likeness (NIL). The issue is being debated in state legislatures and Congress.
A settlement between the NCAA and current and former athletes could open the door to schools directly compensating athletes and revenue sharing among institutions.
Tune into Native America Calling to find out how some Native athletes are navigating the new NIL reality and what some of the potential benefits and pitfalls could be.
