NIL Department Research

As a result of the Name, Image, and Likeness rule being approved recently by the NCAA in the last year a main role as an intern within the department has been research.

Over the course of the semester a main role of mine has been conducting and gathering research on other NIL Departments that we see have a similar demographics to UNC. I have been gathering data on other schools NIL apparel distributor, Multimedia rights, the Licensing partner, Apparel partners, what Market Place they use and any collectives they have. This allows the UNC NIL Department to see what‘s going well and make decisions about their own department. Below is an image of the spreadsheet I have growing throughout the year with different Universities around the country. This information will be used to make informed decision within the University of North Carolina’s NIL Department depending on the success of other Universities decisions amongst the categories listed.
