Meet the UA student-athletes who signed NIL deals in first week
July 7, 2021
Beginning July 1, UA student-athletes were eligible for compensation for the use of their name, image and likeness. In the week since the UA Athletics Department introduced The Advantage, at least 16 UA student-athletes have signed deals.
The NCAA approved a policy last week following a Supreme Court ruling that allowed student-athletes to earn compensation for their NIL. Alabama is one of 10 states that allowed student-athletes to receive compensation as early as July 1.
Compensation under the University’s policy can come in the form of money, goods or services.
The Advantage prohibits UA employees from arranging compensation deals for a current or prospective student-athlete, and compensation can not be provided in exchange for athletic performance or attendance at the University.
The duration of a student-athlete’s NIL contract may not extend beyond their participation in the UA intercollegiate athletics program.
Here are the UA student-athletes who have signed a partnership or brand deal by Wednesday, July 7.
