How NIL is Setting Athletes Up For Life
Enjoyed this article that focuses primarily on female athletes and how they’re leveraging NIL deals to be successful post-sports.
What’s wild is some of them are even receiving equity in the companies they are promoting.
Interesting Stat
The S&P 500 index acts as a benchmark of the performance of the U.S. stock market overall.
The index has returned a historic annualized average return of around 10.5% since its 1957 inception through 2022.
Lebron James’ rookie contract earned him ~$400,000/month. If he invested 10% or $40,000 a month consistently in to the S&P 500 for the last 19 years it would be worth….
$29 million.
The power of compounding.
What To Keep An Eye On This Week
More NIL deals for college basketball players as March Madness bids are clinched and what major companies get involved.
The MLB and if they reach an agreement to end the lockout.
Increased sanctions for the Russian sports world.
