In today’s episode, we break down why NCAA redshirt rules don’t fit the new world of NIL. While redshirting was designed to give athletes more time to develop, in the NIL era it often works against them—shrinking their earning window, limiting visibility, slowing brand growth, and creating gaps between players who see the field early and those who don’t. We’ll explore how sitting out a year can hurt an athlete’s marketability, social media momentum, and local sponsorship opportunities, and why the old eligibility model no longer makes sense in a marketplace where exposure equals dollars.For more information, visit www.bnpsportsagency.com/blog

The Federal Trade Commission is the ref that never misses. In this video, Michael breaks down the endorsement rules athletes (and parents) must follow so NIL deals don’t turn into fines, takedowns, or trashed reputations. We translate the FTC’s playbook into plain English: clear #ad labels, “material connection” disclosures, truthful claims, and special rules for minors and health/fitness posts.

What you’ll learn:• Disclose it right: simple, upfront labels that work everywhere• Material connections: money, gifts, discounts, affiliate links—state it plainly
• Truth & proof: no wild claims without receipts• Platform-specific tips: Stories, Reels, livestreams, podcasts, bios, links, etc.• Minors & parents: consent, school rules, and extra guardrails
• Brand safety: review rights, edits, and who’s on the hook if things go wrong

Keep your deals clean, your audience’s trust high, and your eligibility safe.
