NIL Contracts Are Getting Smarter And Riskier

Power, Paychecks, and Pressure
The amateur era is over. With the NCAA’s $2.8 billion
settlement now approved, student-athletes are no longer playing
only for scholarships. Real money is on the table, and so are real
legal consequences.
This shift isn’t just about opportunity. It’s about
risk. Athletes are signing contracts that look more like
professional agreements than college paperwork. These deals control
payment, performance, image rights, and mobility. Without legal
support, what looks like a win today could quietly lock down your
future.
Shifting the Landscape
Starting in the 2025–26 season, schools in the Power Five
conferences can pay athletes up to $20.5 million per year. This
revenue sharing is capped at 22% of a school’s average athletic
income. By 2034, that number rises to $33 million.
The deal also includes back pay, but only for those who claim
it. Athletes who played between 2016 and 2024 must file a valid
eligibility form to receive their share. The process isn’t
automatic. Legal help can ensure claims are filed correctly and on
time.
To manage all of this, a new College Sports Commission has been
created. It’s responsible for enforcing NIL rules, overseeing
compliance, and reviewing third-party deals. That includes
evaluating fairness and market value, possibly using AI.
Meanwhile, big questions remain. Some experts argue that
athletes should now be considered employees under labor law. Others
warn that unequal pay structures could trigger Title IX lawsuits if
gender equity isn’t addressed. As the legal structure evolves,
athletes must stay alert to how these debates may impact their
rights.
Clauses Redefining the Game
NIL agreements are changing fast, and the fine print is getting
heavier. For many athletes, these contracts now mirror employment
deals more than simple endorsement paperwork. The language used by
schools and collectives can affect how and whether you get paid,
who you can work with, and how much control you have over your
name, image, and movement.
Each clause matters. Understanding the key terms can protect
your value on and off the field.
Performance-Based Triggers
As compensation is no longer guaranteed, many NIL contracts tie
payment directly to playing time, starting status, or medical
eligibility. If you’re benched, redshirted without approval, or
held out by staff, even for non-performance reasons, your pay may
stop. These terms are often buried deep in the agreement.
Sponsorship Limitations
Some contracts limit your ability to work with brands that
compete with school sponsors. That could mean passing on major
opportunities. Even if a brand aligns with your values or audience,
you might be forced to turn it down if the school already has a
deal in place. These clauses can stay in effect year-round, even
off-season.
Conduct Requirements
Many agreements now include morality or conduct clauses. These
sections restrict the types of products you can promote, such as
alcohol, gambling, or political causes, and may even limit what you
say online. If the school believes your content hurts its
reputation, you could face financial penalties or removal from the
program.
Control of Identity and Persona
Athletes are being asked to license more than just their names.
Some contracts include rights to your tattoos, nickname, voice, or
even digital likeness. In some cases, these rights extend well
beyond graduation. Without clear limits, you may lose control over
how your image is used—and who profits from it.
Transfer Barriers
Schools are now using buyout clauses and payment termination
provisions to discourage transfers. You might be required to repay
a portion of your NIL earnings if you enter the transfer portal or
accept an offer from another program. In some cases, payments stop
the moment transfer discussions begin.
NIL contracts aren’t just legal documents; they shape
careers, brands, and life after college. In this short segment, CBS
highlights how one college athlete turned her NIL deal into a
strategic business opportunity and why guidance matters more than
ever.
Leverage Lost Without Legal Review
Most NIL contracts are drafted by institutions with one goal in
mind: protecting their interests. Athletes who sign without review
often take on all the risk without realizing it. These deals may
seem standard, but the details can create long-term traps,
especially if you plan to transfer, build a brand, or keep control
of your image.
This indicates that a legal review isn’t just helpful, but
very essential.
Buyouts and Liquidated Damages
Some NIL deals include steep financial penalties for
transferring. These buyout clauses can require athletes to repay up
to 50% of what they’ve earned, or more. In some cases, the
repayment kicks in even if you’re forced to leave due to
injury, coaching changes, or limited playing time. Without clear
terms, one decision could cost thousands.
Indefinite Licensing of NIL Rights
Contracts may grant schools the right to use your image, voice,
name, or tattoos forever. This isn’t just about promotional
posters. It can include merchandise, digital content, and
AI-generated likenesses. If the contract doesn’t set clear
limits, you may lose control of your identity long after you’ve
left campus.
Termination Power Imbalances
Schools often build in broad rights to cancel NIL agreements
“for cause” but keep athletes locked in on their side.
This means they can end the deal if they think you’ve violated
a vague rule, while you may be stuck with no exit path. Some
contracts even allow payment to stop immediately after a minor
dispute.
Automated Gatekeeping
All third-party NIL deals over $600 now go through a system
called NIL Go. This clearinghouse checks if the deal is
“legitimate” and meets market value standards. Behind the
scenes, AI could flag or block deals unfairly. If your offer is
delayed or denied due to flawed data or hidden bias, there may be
little recourse unless you know how to challenge it.
Roles That Protect or Overpromise
Having support in your corner is critical, but not all support
offers the same protection. NIL deals are legally binding, and
trusting the wrong person can lead to long-term consequences.
Athletes often rely on agents for guidance, but legal protection
requires a licensed attorney. The difference matters.
Agents
Agents help athletes grow their brand and secure deals. They
often manage endorsements, public image, and sponsorship
negotiations. But unless they’re also licensed attorneys,
agents can’t offer legal advice. That means they can’t
interpret contract clauses, spot hidden risks, or represent you in
disputes.
Some agents act like they handle everything, but reviewing legal
terms isn’t part of their job. If they overstep, you may be the
one left exposed.
Lawyers
Sports lawyers are trained to do what agents can’t. They
review, revise, and negotiate contracts. They know how to structure
deals to protect your rights, limit school control, and ensure you
stay compliant with NCAA, state, and federal regulations.
They’re also the only ones who can defend you in arbitration or
legal proceedings if things go wrong.
A lawyer won’t replace your agent. But without one, your NIL
team isn’t complete.
Agreement Pitfalls
Some collectives and booster organizations are offering NIL
representation agreements with vague language and restrictive
terms. These documents may lock you into long-term commitments or
give away rights you didn’t mean to surrender. Even worse, some
promise guaranteed payments that come with strings attached in fine
print.
Always have an attorney review any representation contract
before you sign, no matter how friendly or “standard” it
seems.
Securing More Than Just a Deal
The NIL era has transformed what it means to be a college
athlete. You’re no longer just competing; you’re
contracting. And every term you sign carries weight far beyond your
playing days.
This moment is powerful, but also personal. It’s about your
name, your voice, and your freedom to grow. Contracts that look
like opportunities today can become liabilities tomorrow. You must
ask the right questions, get every term in writing, and push back
on vague morality clauses, aggressive buyout penalties, or
open-ended rights to your image.
Before signing anything, make sure you’ve had the contract
reviewed by a qualified attorney. Understand who controls your NIL,
what happens if you transfer, and whether the agreement limits your
ability to build your brand beyond school walls. Verbal promises
won’t protect you; clear, written terms will.
Every athlete deserves more than a seat at the table. You
deserve leverage, protection, and a deal that works for your
present and the future. Traverse Legal helps athletes take control
of their contracts and protect what matters most.

★ The Sports Examiner: Chronicling the key competitive, economic and political forces shaping elite sport and the Olympic Movement.★
★ To get the daily Sports Examiner Recap by e-mail: sign up here! ★
≡ THE 5-RING CIRCUS ≡
● Olympic Games 2032: Brisbane ● “The venues got a lot of noise. The political body was disagreeing on a couple of very big ones and that didn’t help, but they got that out of the way and frankly, seven years to go, we have our plans, and I’m happy with where we are.
“Seven years is enough time, but we don’t have a lot of wiggle room.”
That’s Andrew Liveris (AUS), the President of the Brisbane 2032 organizing committee and former worldwide chief executive and Board Chair of Dow Chemical, telling Reuters that progress is being made according to plan:
“With 84% of our venues being existing or temporary, we’re mostly in good shape. But the 16% includes the stadium, includes the aquatic centre, it includes a few very important venues. That would be the biggest challenge we have.”
He also sees the Games helping Queensland as one of the growth areas of the country, explaining, “What Queensland is going through, southeast Queensland in particular, is growing pains.
“I think a lot of people want to see better infrastructure, want to see their lives getting better. And I think this is where the Olympics can enable that by accelerating that infrastructure.”
● U.S. Center for SafeSport ● The Center for SafeSport announced the departure of chief executive Ju’Riese Colon on 22 April and on Thursday (24 July):
“The Board of Directors of the U.S. Center for SafeSport announced today that it has begun the formal search for the organization’s next Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The non-profit tasked with safeguarding the nation’s athletes has retained global organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry to lead the search.”
The 22 April statement noted that “The board of directors has initiated the search for new leadership,” apparently now getting started in earnest. As for the positions:
“[T]he Board has established two search committees, one for the CEO and one for the CFO, comprising Board members and advisors with relevant expertise. Korn Ferry has completed stakeholder interviews and is currently conducting organizational assessments and confidential outreach to identify candidates who exemplify both executive acumen and a people first philosophy. This inclusive approach integrates staff feedback, recent strategic evaluations, and market analysis to shape the leadership profiles. Final candidates will be evaluated not only on qualifications but also on their ability to lead with courage, transparency, and care in a time when public trust is essential.”
Those interested are asked to apply on or before 12 September.
● Russia ● World Sailing is continuing its formalized “ban” on Russian and Belarusian boats, but with a significant modification that creates new opportunities:
“The World Sailing Board met on 23 July 2025 to review the decision and determined that there was no material change in the circumstances giving rise to the suspensions and that they would therefore remain in place until the next review which will be on or before the 23 October 2025. This includes the suspension of the participation of any boat owned or effectively controlled or managed by a Russian or Belarusian individual or entity.
“However, following today’s vote, Russian and Belarussian sailors, support personnel and race officials will be permitted to participate as neutrals in World Sailing owned and sanctioned competitions and events, in line with IOC guidance. Boats owned by individuals who are sailing as neutrals under the World Sailing Neutrality Policy are also permitted.
“The policy was supported with 29 votes for, five against, with two abstentions.”
Under World Sailing’s 2024 Neutrality Policy for the 2024 Olympic Games, World Sailing’s legal department carried out neutrality reviews of Russian or Belarusian sailors or officials who applied for eligibility.
● Aquatics ● The Spanish men’s water polo team won its fourth World Aquatics Championships gold with a 15-13 win over Hungary in the final of the 2025 Worlds in Singapore.
The sides were tied at 5-5 at the quarter, with Spain up 7-6 at the half. But the Hungarians, four-time champions and as recently as 2023, were up by 10-8 after three quarters. But six Spanish goals were too much in the final quarter and led to the 15-13 final. Bernat Sanahuja (who was red-carded with 3:50 left!) and Alvaro Granados each had five goals in the victory, and Felipe Perrone, playing in his 14th (and last) Worlds, scored Spain’s 15th goal with 18 seconds left.
Greece took the bronze with a 16-7 pounding of three-time defending Olympic champions Serbia; the U.S. finished eighth, losing 8-7 to Italy in the seventh-place final.
¶
In Artistic Swimming, Spain’s Iris Tio and Lilou Lluis won the women’s Duet Free final, scoring 282.6087 points to 278.7137 for Italy’s Enrica Piccoli and Lucrezia Ruggiero.
It’s the second gold for Tio (also in the Solo Free) and fifth medal of the Championships, with three bronze medals.

Swimswam.com reported that all USA Swimming World Championships team members are now in Singapore, after as much as half of the team had food poisoning issues at its training camp in Phuket (THA).
Swimming will begin on Sunday, with U.S. broadcasts available only on the Peacock streaming channel.
● Cycling ● The 112th Tour de France was not settled for sure, but almost for sure, as Ben O’Connor (AUS) attacked with 16 km to go on the brutal, final climb on the Col de la Loze to the Courchevel ski resort on Thursday to win stage 18.
He finished the triple-climb, 171.5 km route in 5:03:47, for his second career stage win in the race, unaware of the drama playing out behind him. Tour leader and three-time winner Tadej Pogacar (SLO) was repeatedly challenged by two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard (DEN), trying to make up ground … but unable to.
In the final 500 m, Pogacar passed Vingegaard and increased his lead, finishing 1:45 behind O’Connor, in second place, with Vingegaard in third at +1:54. That means Pogacar now has a lead of 4:26 on Vingegaard with three stages left, and 11:01 on German Florian Lipowitz in third.
Friday is another climbing stage, but not as difficult and only 95 km from Albertville to La Plagne – another ski resort – with a major climb in the first half and then a 19.3 km uphill finish from 668 m to 2,062 km at the top. It’s Vingegaard’s last chance, essentially.
Saturday’s 20th stage is hilly and the ride into Paris on Sunday has some early hills and cobblestones, but is fairly calm. Pogacar will, barring a major incident, win his fourth Tour on Sunday.

Both Chargers Track and Field Teams, 13 athletes earn 2025 USTFCCCA All-Academic Honors

2025 USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Awards
In the 2024-25 season, the Hillsdale College men’s and women’s track and field teams continued to excel — both on the track and in the classroom.
Earlier this week, the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association recognized the Chargers with a variety of awards that all reflect the programs’ academic success. Both men’s and women’s teams earned Team All-Academic honors from the USTFCCCA, and 13 athletes from both programs were individually recognized as well.
In order to receive the Team All-Academic distinction from the USTFCCCA, programs must have an average cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher across all athletes in the program.
It’s a mark both programs easily exceeded in 2023-24. The Charger men had a cumulative GPA of 3.30 , while the women’s mark of 3.43 also passed the required threshold for the honor with plenty of room to spare.
Hillsdale’s success in competition — 14 total berths to NCAA DII Indoor and Outdoor championships, five combined first-team All-American honors, and the program’s first two individual national championships on the men’s side since 2015 — showed the Chargers’ athletic strength, and many of those athletes also excelled academically, with several of them receiving All-Academic recognition from the USTFCCCA individually.
In order to qualify for All-Academic honors, an athlete must post a 3.25 cumulative GPA and achieve at least one provisional qualifying mark during the 2024-25 indoor and outdoor seasons.
On the men’s side, two-time national champion Ben Haas was one of four Chargers honorees, adding All-Academic distinction for the second straight season to a long list of accolades that included titles in the weight throw indoors and the hammer throw outdoors at the NCAA DII Championships. NCAA DII Outdoor Championship qualifier Richie Johnston received his third All-Academic honor, while Ross Kuhn, an All-American in the 1,500m run, earned the award for the first time, as did teammate and distance runner Gabriel Phillips.
On the women’s side, mid-distance runner Reese Dragovich earned All-Academic honors for the fourth straight year, claiming the maximum number of the honor possible for her career at Hillsdale, while pole vaulter and NCAA DII Outdoor qualifier Kaylee Jackson also earned All-Academic honors for the third straight season, and junior sprinter Francesca Federici earned the distinction for the second time in her career.
Six women’s track and field athletes received All-Academic honors from the USTFCCCA for the first time in 2025 — freshman distance runner and All-American Allison Kuzma, senior sprinter Josee Behling, senior pole vaulter Katie Clifford, sophomore thrower Olivia Newsome, sophomore mid-distance runner Megan Roberts, and freshman jumper Baelyn Zitzmann.

Evelyn Bliss Resets School Record, Advances to Tomorrow’s Finals at the 2025 FISU World University Games
RHINE-RUHR, GERMANY– With mid-morning fully engaged in the scenic Rhine landscape, Evelyn Bliss, clad in her glorious Red, White, and Blue Team USA jersey, began her run for her first throw of the 2025 FISU World University Games Qualifying Round Group A. The Team USA thrower took a deep breath, revved her engine, installed the […]

SCHOOL RECORD!
Throwing at the FISU World University Games this morning, Bliss, ON HER FIRST THROW, tossed 60.81m (199-5) to break her school record!
She finished first in her qualifying section and advances to tomorrow’s championship!#rayBucknell | #FeelingBlissful pic.twitter.com/DDAjBLht70
— Bucknell Track & XC (@Bucknell_TFXC) July 25, 2025
The mark reset her school record that the rising junior established at the 2025 NCAA East First Round, nabbed her first place in the qualifying round, and slotted into tenth in USA women’s javelin history. The distance held up after Qualifying Round Group B as the supreme mark of the morning.
“Going into qualifying rounds I had a good feeling, practices all week felt very strong,” said Bliss. “Coach Protzman and I worked on being consistently in the 50m for practice. I was excited to compete today. Having the chance to compete internationally against these very competitive women is always a blessing. Looking towards tomorrow I want to replicate what I did today and I think that will put me in a very nice place.”
Bucknell throws coach Ryan Protzman, Bliss’ dedicated and expert mentor, was unable to make the expedition. He and her wife recently celebrated the birth of their firstborn child – a strapping baby boy, but he was up at 3:35 a.m. Eastern Time to watch his protege.
“60 meters is such a massive benchmark in women’s javelin,” said Protzman. “I’m so happy for her. The challenges I’ve presented her with the last couple of years haven’t been all technical. Recently, we have just been pushing training throws a little more. Never has she focused on how far she threw a javelin in training with me until after NCAAs a month and a half ago. Today was special, and I think there is much more to go chase tomorrow in the final!”
Bliss was the only thrower to hit 60 meters in the qualifying round. Lianna Davidson (Australia) placed second, throwing 57.83, and Turkey’s Esra Turkmen finished third at 57.48. The best javelineer in Group B, Australia’s Mia Gordon, hit 56.39.
Twelve throwers advanced in all to the finals. Group A was more top heavy but Group B sent the quantity – seven.
Bliss has carved a name for herself in the javelin community, despite only reaching her twentieth year. Appropriately, the USA thrower shares her birthday with the United States Army on June 14 – Flag Day. She has reached the part of the hike where her heroes have become rivals and realistic goals to surpass. American legend Kara Winger represents that mark in Bliss’ journey.
Winger holds the American record for women’s javelin when she threw 68.11m (223-5) at the 2022 Diamond League and has won the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships eight times. She and Bliss shared the stage at the 2024 United States Olympic Trials where Winger finished second and Bliss, threw, at the time, a personal best of 55.82m (183-2), placing sixth.
Winger, like all great athletes, understand and cultivate the importance of building the sport for the next generation. She sees those same qualities in Bliss and offered her thoughts on the budding star’s best traits:
“The thing that stands out to me about Evie is her focus, joy, and community building in her javelin career,” said Winger. “Whenever I’ve seen her, she’s sharing enthusiasm about the sport and event with someone in her camp, growing her love for the process alongside someone she cares about. Today, watching her celebrate with those people means to me that she’s here to stay: She’s building a foundation, and I look forward to watching her continue to thrive! I’ll always be glad I got to share the runway with her once.”
The finals begin tomorrow at 8:20 a.m. Eastern Time/2:20 p.m. German Time and will be streamed on FISU TV.

The South jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the two sets thanks to the balanced play of the front row led by Daphne’s Ella Lomax, Charli Pearce of Saraland, Rehobeth’s Kryslin Martin and Bayside Academy’s talented 6-foot-3 outside hitter Haley Robinson. Setter Libby Rogers of Fairhope managed the attacks with her assists.
The North’s Millie Burgess of Vestavia Hills and Kendall Buckley of Bob Jones stepped up, however, and helped their team claw back into the match as the North won the third set.
In the end, Lomax delivered 4 key kills to close out the fourth set. The South was also aided by libero M.K. Whitehurst, who served 4 aces to separate the teams late in the final set. She finished with 5 aces.
Lomax finished with 9 kills and 3 digs to earn South MVP honors. Martin had 9 kills, Pearce and Bennett Buolo of St. Paul’s added 6 kills each. Robinson had 5 and Cami Huff of McGill-Toolen had 5. Libby Rogers finished with 12 assists and 9 digs with Baylee Rogers of Prattville Christian contributing 14 for the South.
Burgess totaled 17 kills to earn MVP honors for the North. Buckley had 11 plus 10 digs. Kennedy Moss of Huntsville totaled 8. Setter Cailyn Kyes dished out 29 assists and totaled 8 digs.
