Recruiting Football Talk VII

If the state school has you on payroll for playing on the state school's football team?
Then you’d be an employee - you’d be paid for work performed...in this case, playing football. However, being paid for NIL by outside entities does not make you an employee of the university. The university isn’t paying you for your NIL, an outside entity is.

Let’s say that you play soccer on your local adult rec league team and you’ve become quite popular in the community because of your crazy over the head scissor kick scoring skills and behind the back passes. A local restaurant owner contracts with you to do some commercial spots for them because everyone in the community knows your name, and they all know your name because of the way you play soccer for your adult rec team. The restaurant owner wants to use your name and image to drive business to the restaurant. Are you an employee of the rec league?
