FSU sports: How NIL policy impacts the Seminoles

Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) is officially here.

We have seen a bevy of announcements from companies and schools getting involved with helping student-athletes benefit and monetize their NIL. From the athletes themselves, we have seen brands introduced, partnerships formed, and social media pages started for interaction with fans.

While there are many unknowns about how NIL will change college athletics, it should be recognized that every program has many opportunities to take advantage of what NIL would bring to its players, and campuses. And we knew this was coming.

The beautiful thing about NIL is that every athlete can benefit. Yes, a volleyball player or golfer will likely not benefit as much as the starting QB or star basketball player, but anyone on any team can take part of NIL. And recruiting pitches regarding potential partnerships or access to opportunities can be big-time for a program like Florida State.

NIL involves a heap of players across every NCAA member school. What about FSU sports in particular? From recruiting to team management, NIL is going to impact many aspects of FSU sports.

With all this said, let’s take a look at some ways NIL will impact FSU sports.
