UNLV Athletics has established policies and procedures for the review of NIL compensation and agent representation required from the Nevada State Law. This policy is intended to promote compliance with applicable laws and policies, clarify student-athletes’ rights to receive compensation for the use of their name, image, and likeness, and preserve student-athletes’ eligibility.
This policy is not intended to prevent or discourage student-athletes from earning compensation for their name, image, and likeness.
- NIL is NOT pay for play - Compensation for a student-athlete may not be determined on athletic performance.
- Student-athletes are prohibited from participating in NIL activities when engaged in official team activities (e.g., practice, competition, media obligations, team travel, promotional activities, travel, etc.).
- Student-athletes may not miss class or other academic commitments for NIL activities.
- Student-athletes should not engage in NIL activities that conflict with NCAA rules (e.g., sports wagering, tobacco, banned substances, etc.).
