I’m doing market research and need some feedback. By now, the average fan has probably heard that amateur athletes (depending on state laws) may profit off of their name, image and likeness (NIL). The majority of this is being done through advertising and merchandise (autographs, memorabilia, etc.) from what I’ve seen. There is a lot of controversy on how this has and will impact college athletics and how NIL could further increase the level of vanity that is already present. With that being said, there is also the possibility of NIL being used for good as we’ve seen cases where some athletes have decided to donate their NIL earnings to charity.
Here is where I need your opinion: If there was an NIL fund for athletes of your favorite team that was more slanted toward a good cause (a percentage going to charity) how likely would you be to get involved financially in some capacity? Let’s assume the athlete would get between 50-70 percent of the deal.
Please provide as much detail as you can of your opinion on this in the comments below. Thanks for your participation!
