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.
