I think a few athletes are getting a rude awakening about now when they start to receive their W2's or 1099's. They are wondering what are these things and what do I do with this. I have to pay what? How much? I've already spent that money. Welcome to the big world of adulthood.

Just know if you take an NIL deal in place of scholarship it is taxable and you should request enough to cover taxes and it is not guaranteed. I have heard of a few lately that offered monthly NIL deals to athletes rather than scholarships. I would be worried that if I'm not helping the team I lose my NIL money or they just decide to not pay once I get there unless you sign a contract. Almost every NIL deal son does we request some type of paperwork or contract.
