How Women Athletes are Using Social Media to Change NIL Standards: A Candid Conversation w/ Celene Funke - a podcast by Brittan Swan/Shannon Kessler

The conversations around NIL (Name Image Likeness) standards is nothing new but its stirring controversial conversations at colleges around the country.  The NIL term has taken on new meaning amid the national conversation.  NIL or “name, image and likeness” is broken down into three elements that make up a legal concept known as “right of publicity.” As of right now, most colleges have the rights to all student athletes right to publicity which prohibits them from monetizing on any platform while enrolled and participating in an athletic program. A call to amend these standards is becoming more imperative as social media platforms become increasingly more popular and lucrative among college age adults. To help us understand the importance of listening to college athletes, we invited Celene Funke, to the pod.  She helps us breakdown why NIL standards need to be changed and what that would mean for non-revenue sports moving forward. Please  Enjoy the show!
