An Attorney's Take on the Changing Landscape of NIL


Cal Stein

Partner, Troutman Pepper

We have a special guest on the podcast this week: Cal Stein.

Cal is a partner at Troutman Pepper and specializes in providing legal advice to athletes, brands, and collectives in Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). We are excited to have him join us and share his insights.

We will be discussing the practical applications of using Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) as a recruitment tool or an incentive for transfers that all parents should be aware of. Here are a few questions to consider:

  • Is the transfer portal a positive step for student-athletes?
  • How do smaller “Group of 5” schools benefit from the transfer portal?
  • What is the solution to balancing the student athlete’s rights with some rules to prevent chaos?
  • What is the future of collegiate athletics, and will their operations be integrated into the athletic department?

Cal expresses optimism about how NIL has financially supported non-scholarship athletes and brought attention to the burden of college expenses.

Also in this episode:

  • NCAA enforcement actions will be on the rise in 2024
  • NIL opportunities will continue to result in more student-athlete transfers in 2024
  • 2024 will go by without federal NIL legislation
  • In 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) will review whether student-athletes are considered employees
  • Collectives will have less direct influence over NIL and student-athletes in 2024
