Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL)
Protect Your Future with Sutton's expert NIL Vetting Process
Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) allows all NCAA D1, D2 and D3 student-athletes to be compensated for their NIL. The NCAA’s interim NIL policy has created an entirely new industry, which has grown drastically since its inception. Sutton Associates recognizes that student-athletes face potential risk and that currently there are no regulations in place that govern the student-athletes or the agents that represent them.
With 30+ years of experience in vetting processes within the sports industry, Sutton Associates has developed a vetting program that will assist in providing transparency and accountability for the entire NIL community.
Our custom-tailored vetting program can assist the following groups:
- High school or college/university student-athletes
- College/university athletic departments
- College/university conference leadership teams
- NIL agencies
- Collectives
- Any group that represents NIL and student-athletes
