ABOUT THE AAC
What's the NIL?
With the NCAA’s approval, athletes at universities across the country now have the right to profit off their own Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). If done correctly, this can be an exciting opportunity for student-athletes, as long as the student-athlete’s best interests are at the heart of every decision made. That’s where the Athlete Advocate Consortium (AAC) comes in.
Why The AAC Started
So far, most NIL programs focus solely on the monetization of the athlete and the companies engaging them. AAC is different. They provide each student-athlete a full-time team dedicated to all facets of their college career and most importantly, their future.
The AAC Difference
The AAC does not take a single cent from the student-athlete’s earnings or monetization in any way. Instead, they empower student athletes to change not only their futures, but the future of the communities in which we all live, play and work.
