Subject: Name, Image, and Likeness
Chapel Hill Community Member:
It is an exciting time to be a Tar Heel as we continue to enjoy the successes of our student-athletes.
As you have likely heard, the NCAA has recently adopted rules that permit a student-athlete to use his or her name, image, or likeness (NIL) in non-institutional promotional activities and to receive compensation for such activities provided the student-athlete does not receive compensation for athletics performance or participation as an inducement for enrollment. Compensation for the use of NIL may include discounts or special arrangements.
Prospective and Current Student-Athletes CAN:
- Appear in television advertisements for commercial products or services.
- Appear in print or social media advertisements for commercial products or services.
- Make personal appearances to promote commercial products or services (e.g., appearance at a commercial establishment).
- Be a social media influencer (compensation for social media activity/posting).
Prospective and Current Student-Athletes CANNOT:
- Have an agreement without quid pro quo (e.g., compensation for work not performed).
- Be provided or offered compensation contingent upon initial or continued enrollment at UNC.
- Be compensated contingent upon a specific athletic performance or achievement (e.g., financial incentives based on points scored). Athletic performance may enhance a student athlete’s NIL value, but athletic performance may not be the “consideration” for NIL compensation.
With success comes a significant responsibility. A critical component of continuing our success is maintaining institutional compliance with NCAA and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) rules and regulations. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly with any questions you have about the way NCAA rules now permit our student-athletes to partner with your business. GO HEELS!
