Money Smarts Expands Financial Education with NIL Academy for Students Athletes

Money Smarts, a financial literacy platform powered by Sports Media Inc., has expanded its educational offerings with NIL Academy, a program designed specifically for student athletes navigating the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era.

As NIL opportunities continue to grow, student athletes are increasingly faced with financial decisions related to income, contracts, banking, credit, taxes, and long-term planning. NIL Academy provides educational resources designed to help athletes better understand these topics and make informed decisions.

The program includes courses covering NIL Income Basics, Contract Literacy, Agent & Advisor Evaluation, Banking & Credit, and Long-Term Planning. Additional advanced modules address topics such as Business Entity Formation, Asset Protection, and Tax Planning.

NIL Academy is designed for high school athletes, college athletes, and athletes currently earning NIL income. Through practical financial education, the program helps participants better understand NIL opportunities and the responsibilities that come with them.

Participants can learn how to understand NIL agreements, evaluate financial opportunities, build financial literacy skills, and develop strategies for long-term planning. The curriculum is designed to provide knowledge that can support athletes throughout their educational, athletic, and professional journeys.

Through NIL Academy, Money Smarts continues its mission of providing accessible financial education and practical learning resources for the next generation.
