The Legal Landscape of College Sports: Unpacking the NIL Lifecycle of the Student-Athlete

Webinar, Hosted By Foley & Lardner LLP


Tuesday, July 12, 2022 - 7:00 AM


It has been one year since groundbreaking changes in college sports freed student-athletes to commercialize and sell rights to their name, image, and likeness (“NIL”).  During that time, Foley’s Sports & Entertainment Group’s multi-disciplinary College Sports/NIL Task Force has been actively engaged in advising various stakeholders through their emergent needs.

In the next installment of Foley’s “Business of Sports” series, Foley task force members, Jon Israel and Greg Marino, will lead a 1.5 hour program on year 1 of the NIL era. They will provide an overview of the current legal landscape by dissecting the NIL lifecycle of a hypothetical student-athlete - from high school through the completion of a college playing career – and, via this story, will review meaningful developments and elicit practical frontline insights and perspectives from their special guests Morgan Frazier, Javier Peral, and Drew Butler.  

The discussion will cover:

  • The legal landscape now in place, including state NIL laws and NCAA rules and recent guidance

  • The various stakeholders, including schools, student-athletes, agents, sponsors, and collectives

  • The rise of collectives, including their impact now and in the future

  • The NCAA, including what it has done and what it might do

  • An assessment of year 1 of the NIL era, and where things may be headed
