Athletic programs are increasingly expected to provide financial literacy to their athletes — not just point them somewhere. The NIL Financial Playbook gives you a ready-made course, licensed for your team or program, with a certificate every athlete can show they completed.
Financial literacy is becoming an expectation, not an extra.
Regulatory pressure is real
Regulatory bodies are pushing for financial-literacy standards around NIL, and the House settlement, revenue sharing, and the College Sports Commission have made the financial side of college athletics far more complex than it was two years ago.
Liability, and duty of care
Athletes who don't understand taxes, contracts, or basic money management make costly mistakes — and schools that never addressed the topic carry that risk. Proactively training your athletes is both the right thing to do and a reduction in institutional exposure.
Coaches and advisors aren't trained for this either
Coaches, academic advisors, and athletic department staff are often the first call an athlete makes about a deal or a tax question — usually without financial training themselves. A shared, structured course gives everyone the same foundation.
What you're licensing
The same course, for your whole team or program.
