Athletic Recruitment and Compliance

The 2026 NCAA settlement has established the College Sports Commission to monitor NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) contracts. Christian colleges must now vet all third-party athlete deals for purpose and payment limits to avoid Title IV violations related to improper student benefits. To ensure enrollment marketing accuracy, athletic recruitment materials must be audited for compliance with these new enforcement protocols.
