the premier professional Community for nil

In NIL, the cost of being wrong is real — money lost, rules missed, opportunities passed by.

 

Live Monthly Webinars

Each month, an NIL leader in their area of expertise delivers up-to-the-minute intel (see speaker list.)

Members-Only Research Reports

A monthly report from the NIL Research Poll, the largest ongoing survey of its kind.

Community Networking

Connect, solve problems, and grow through a network of NIL peers.

 

To keep the NIL Forum a lively community, I cap new enrollment at 15 members per month. Each month I host a live speaker session, publish new data, and run office hours. In between, I engage with members and help them to connect with each other.

Bill Carter, Founder of Student-Athlete Insights

Hi — I’m Bill Carter, Founder of Student-Athlete and the NIL Forum. While “NIL” has only been around since 2021, I have advised brands on Name, Image, Likeness for 25 years — first in pro sports, now at the college level. I was Co-Founder of the sports agency Fuse and was later named a SportsBusiness Journal Forty Under 40 Award winner. After selling that agency in 2019, I founded Student-Athlete Insights, where I advise companies like DICK’S Sporting Goods, Morgan Stanley, and Little League Baseball on NIL. My NIL courses are used to educate student-athletes at 30+ DI universities. I am on the faculty at both Boston College and the University of Vermont where I teach Name, Image, and Likeness.
