LEGACY, a large entrepreneurship and brand extension plan for student-athletes at DePaul University, will soon allow Blue Demon student-athletes to purchase Name, Image ultimately, and Likeness (NIL) law provisionally slated to go into force in Illinois on July 1, 2021.
This unfinished law and possible NCAA rule modifications would allow student-athletes to receive payment to use their name, image, and likeness related to non-student-athletes.
“As ordinances about the student-athlete involvement improve, DePaul Athletics is stable in helping our scholars to develop their personal brand, improve their financial knowledge and create yet another pathway to reach their ultimate goals,” said Director of Athletics DeWayne Peevy.
“Nationwide distinguished education from DePaul’s Driehaus College of Business, College of Communication and Coleman Entrepreneurship Center joined with the endless possibilities the city of Chicago provides, uniquely placed DePaul to create an impression. We entirely welcome NIL as it helps our ‘students-first’ benefits and joins with DePaul’s purpose to develop alumni to be strong in their preferred fields and tools of change during their lives.”
