NAME, IMAGE, AND LIKENESS
AND ATHLETE COMPENSATION CERTIFICATE
Intercollegiate athletics and the college athlete experience have been forever changed as athletes have gained control of their name, image and likeness and started monetizing their personal brands. For coaches, admins and other professionals working in and around college athletics, this has resulted in seismic shifts in both recruiting, retention and advisement, while also introducing new financial and administrative realities, which will soon be compounded by new revenue sharing models.
The Name, Image and Likeness and Athlete Compensation Certificate seeks to provide foundational knowledge for today’s elite coaches, rising administrators, agents, lawyers and other professionals in the industry to confidently operate within the complex web of NIL rules and laws while also improving athlete interactions in their current roles and bolstering their own career prospects.

Before completing the NIL and Athlete Compensation Certificate, I felt like the world of college sports was speeding past me— a problem for anyone who works in the industry. This course was packed with the information I needed be prepared for the dynamic future of my work on campus. I learned why we have gotten to this point of evolution, what is rapidly changing, and how I can best lean into the new era. Whether working with students or making department decisions- I’m ready to informatively contribute.”
My law firm sponsored my enrollment in Kristi Dosh’s NIL and Athlete Compensation Certificate course, and even as a practicing attorney working regularly in the NIL space, I found the course incredibly valuable. Kristi covers a wide range of timely and complex topics, including current NIL laws, emerging regulations, and best practices for advising athletes, collectives, and institutions. The guest speakers and supplemental reading materials added meaningful depth and practical insight. I highly recommend Kristi’s course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of NIL.
