Join us for a dynamic panel discussion exploring the evolving landscape of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in college sports. This event brings together athletes, industry experts, and brand leaders to examine how NIL is reshaping opportunities for student-athletes, redefining the athlete-brand relationship, and creating new challenges and responsibilities for schools and sponsors alike.
