Students will explain name, image and likeness (NIL) rights; NIL contract basics; and the potential benefits of LLCs to student influencers, including student athletes, and answer their questions about these topics. Students may choose to volunteer at a March 19 event open to all UT students or at a March 27 event that will focus on student athletes.
