College Athlete Deals vs Influencer Agreements (NIL)

Mike Whelan
Chief Community Officer

How are college athletes just like online influencers—and how are they not?

In this episode, sports attorney John Gibson contrasts the two contexts to illustrate where agreements with college athletes present special issues.

Gibson underlines:

  • Term considerations that are unique to college athletes,
  • The difficulty of using a school’s brand,
  • Scheduling difficulties for very busy athletes, and
  • An overall assessment of the amateurism re-regulation and the growth of NIL deals.
