Rollins College supports student-athletes as they explore opportunities to earn compensation for the use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL). In accordance with Florida law and NCAA guidelines, student-athletes may engage in NIL activities without affecting their athletics eligibility or grant-in-aid, provided those activities comply with applicable rules and institutional policies. Because NIL legislation continues to evolve, Rollins Athletics will review and update guidance as needed.

Student-athletes may enter into NIL agreements with third parties, as long as compensation reflects fair market value and is not connected to athletic performance or enrollment at Rollins College. All NIL agreements — including paid, unpaid, or in-kind arrangements — must be disclosed to the Athletics Compliance Office through the institutional reporting process. Disclosure is intended to support transparency and compliance and is not an approval process.

Use of Rollins College trademarks, logos, uniforms, team-issued gear, or campus facilities in connection with NIL activities requires prior written authorization from Rollins Athletics Communications department. Commercial filming or photography on campus may require additional coordination and approval through Athletics Communications, and certain activities may involve scheduling, insurance, or facility use requirements. Please contact Phil Chinnery for questions and approval.

Rollins encourages student-athletes to carefully evaluate each opportunity and consider how it aligns with their personal brand, academic responsibilities, and long-term goals.

NIL compensation may have financial aid, tax, or immigration implications. International student-athletes should consult the Office of International Student Support or an immigration attorney before entering NIL agreements when applicable.

For questions about NIL opportunities or disclosure requirements, please contact the Rollins Athletics Compliance Office.
