Money & Taxes

This course introduces Money and Taxes, a foundational pillar of our NIL Protective Education framework and one of the most popular aspects of the NIL journey.

Earning money through NIL is exciting, but income without structure, planning and tax considerations can quickly become a liability. This course helps athletes and families understand how NIL compensation actually works, what obligations come with it and how to manage earnings responsibly from day one.

Rather than reacting after problems arise, you’ll learn how to build a simple, informed financial foundation that supports both short-term opportunities and long-term goals.

This Module Covers:

• How NIL income is earned, should be tracked and taxed
• Common tax mistakes athletes make and how to avoid them
• How financial awareness supports better decision-making across NIL

Key Learning Outcomes

• Understand your tax responsibilities before the IRS introduces itself
• Learn how to separate personal finances from NIL activity
• Build habits that protect cash flow, eligibility and future earning power
• Money isn’t just about what you make, it’s about what you keep

This course equips you with the financial literacy needed to navigate NIL income responsibly and confidently.
