Love this.

NIL has presented tremendous opportunities for countless student-athletes.

Seeing my teammates with new money gave us interest in: real estate, investing, and how to protect and grow wealth together, while giving our everything to the sport we love that got us here.

[Dominic Listi, MBA @dominiclisti]

NIL allowed me to:
1. Finish my MBA (Masters of Business Administration) debt free.
2. Get a job I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to without a masters right out of school.
3. Play 2 years of D1 Ball
4. Meet people who changed my life
5. Play at my dream school, Clemson

4: The window is DURING your playing career.

If you're an athlete who wants to get ahead of it — DMs are open.

[Upa @_nilayu]

Nobody prepares athletes for life after sport. Here's what that gap actually costs you: (Thread)

1: The avg professional career is 3-5 years. Most athletes spend zero of those years building financial literacy, a personal brand, or a network outside their sport.

[Upa @_nilayu]

3: The athletes who beat this start early:
→ They understand how money works before they need it
→ They build a brand around who they are, not just what they do
→ They create relationships that outlast their playing days

Pitt DC Cory Sanders says LB Braylan Lovelace is playing at Star right now in camp. Says Lovelace can bounce around at all three positions.

[Upa @_nilayu]

College athletes have more power than ever with NIL.
The smartest ones:

Vetting deals before signing

Building an audience they own

Thinking about life after eligibility

Treating their name like an asset

If you're a college athlete navigating NIL and want guidance, DM me
