Name, Image, & Likeness: Support for Student-Athletes
Designed with student athletes in mind, the IDEA Bank has partnered with Troy Athletics
to implement NIL-focused resources for student-athletes who are leaning into their
entrepreneurial spirit. The IDEA Bank supports personal brand building and channeling
your inner entrepreneurial spirit to monetize your name, image and likeness. Troy
University Student-Athletes have the opportunity to take advantage of our branding
and compliance consulting program by completing the readily-available NIL Certification
Course on Canvas. After completion of the course, student-athletes have the opportunity
to partake in further consulting with a knowledgeable NIL advisor here at the IDEA
Bank.
NIL Certificate Program
The NIL Certificate Program is designed to provide practical resources and education
that Troy University student-athletes can apply to their own NIL growth strategies.
The course is 100% self-paced. It will take approximately 3-4 hours to complete, but
students do not have to complete it all in one sitting. Upon completion of the Canvas
course, students will be prompted to book a one-on-one NIL consultation at the Troy
University IDEA Bank, where they will receive a certificate of completion and receive
a personalized plan for NIL monetization, among other benefits.
This program consists of 4 Modules:
- Personal Branding & Social Media
- Financial Literacy & Tax Implications
- NCAA Compliance
- Getting Started
All current student-athletes have received an invitation to the Student-Athlete NIL
Program in Canvas. If you are a student-athlete and have not received an invitation
to the course, please email Lynne George at lfirmin@troy.edu to request access.
