NCAA Division I Student-Athletes your NIL experiences matter.
Name, Image, and Likeness has created new opportunities for college athletes, but behind every opportunity is a decision. Student-athletes may need to consider their personal values, identity, financial opportunities, future goals, external expectations, and other factors when deciding what is right for them.
As part of my doctoral research, I am seeking to better understand these experiences directly from the student-athletes living them. Your voice matters because the future understanding of NIL should include the perspectives of the athletes actually making these decisions.
By sharing your experience, you can help deepen the understanding of how NIL-related decisions affect student-athletes and provide insights that may inform future research and support NIL in collegiate athletics.
Participation is voluntary and confidential.
