At Sports Media Inc., we prioritize transparency and legal compliance in empowering athletes to explore NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) opportunities. To ensure a clear understanding of the regulatory landscape, athletes must recognize and take responsibility for adhering to state and federal regulations, NCAA policies, and the specific guidelines and regulations of their educational institution.

Athletes engaging with Sports Media Inc. are accountable for compliance with federal regulations governing NIL activities. Understanding and adhering to federal laws is essential, and athletes should seek legal counsel to ensure alignment with all applicable statutes.

Given the intricate relationship between athletes, NIL, and collegiate sports, athletes must be familiar with and abide by NCAA policies. It is crucial to stay informed about any NCAA regulations that impact participation in NIL agreements and licensing activities.

Each educational institution may have its own set of policies concerning NIL, and athletes should proactively acquaint themselves with these guidelines. Athletes should be aware of existing school partnerships. Athletes bear the responsibility of understanding and complying with their school’s specific regulations related to NIL and licensing.

Beyond federal and school regulations, athletes must also consider state laws governing NIL. Different states may have unique legal frameworks, and compliance with these state-specific regulations is the responsibility of the individual athlete.

While Sports Media Inc. facilitates NIL opportunities and provides educational resources, it does not assume the responsibility of ensuring individual compliance with federal regulations, NCAA policies, school guidelines, or state laws. Our role is to empower athletes by offering information and connections within the parameters of the law.

Engagement with Sports Media Inc. signifies athletes’ acknowledgment of their responsibility to navigate federal regulations, NCAA policies, school-specific guidelines, and state laws related to NIL and licensing. Athletes are encouraged to seek advice from their educational institutions and legal professionals for comprehensive guidance.

Sports Media Inc. strongly recommends that athletes consult with legal professionals specializing in sports law or NIL regulations. Legal advisors can provide tailored insights, ensuring athletes are well-versed in the federal, NCAA, school, and state regulatory landscape.
