NIL Opportunities for Student-Athletes

NIL

Real Opportunities. Real Education. No Guesswork.

The NIL landscape has changed dramatically, and most student-athletes are figuring it out one Instagram DM at a time. ABF gives athletes a structured, education-first path into Name, Image, and Likeness — one that prioritizes compliance, long-term brand building, and actual income.

What ABF Offers Athletes

• Education: Plain-language briefings on NIL rules, taxes, and contracts.
• Compliance Guidance: What you can and can't do at the high school and college level.
• Brand Pipeline: Introductions to local and national businesses looking for athlete partners.
• Personal Brand Building: Help building a media kit, content plan, and social presence.
• Contract Review Tools: Templates and review checklists for early-stage deals.

What ABF Offers Businesses

• Curated athlete roster organized by sport, market, and audience
• Campaign frameworks and content briefs
• Disclosure, compliance, and reporting support

Who Qualifies

NIL opportunities for student-athletes are available to ABF-supported athletes at the high school, college, and amateur levels (subject to applicable state laws and school policies). We're especially focused on helping under-the-radar athletes — the ones who deserve opportunity but aren't already on a national agent's roster.

NIL shouldn't only work for five-star athletes in Power-Five markets. ABF is built to expand who gets the call.
