We support our student-athletes in pursuit of NIL activities in alignment with the university and the athletics department. Our NIL policy applies to all currently enrolled student-athletes and committed prospective student-athletes.

Student-athletes who take advantage of NIL opportunities must continue to comply with all NAIA, University, and Department academic standards and policies. They must also comply with team rules of conduct. Student-athletes may not receive compensation that is tied to initial or continuing enrollment at the university, or performance in a sport they participate in.

Additionally, student-athletes may not participate in NIL opportunities that are connected or associated with:

  • Gambling.
  • Banned or eligible substances.
  • Adult entertainment.
  • Tobacco.
  • Alcohol. 

Student-Athletes must report all NIL revenue to the Director of Athletics. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary actions.

International student-athletes must first have a conversation with the Associate Director of Athletics for Compliance before entering into a NIL agreement. Some compensation from NIL opportunities may have a negative effect on their visa or immigration status.
