NIL Club Reviews: What Student-Athletes Really Think

What Student-Athletes Are Saying About NIL Club
With over 650,000 student-athletes using NIL Club to earn money from their name, image, and likeness, the platform has become the largest athlete community in college sports. But what do the athletes themselves actually think? We gathered feedback from student-athletes across different sports, divisions, and schools to find out why they chose NIL Club and what their experience has been like.
Why Athletes Choose NIL Club Over Other Platforms
One of the most common themes in athlete feedback is how NIL Club makes earning accessible for everyone, not just star players. Traditional NIL deals often go to the highest-profile athletes, leaving the majority of student-athletes without opportunities.
NIL Club flips this model. Through team-based NIL Clubs where earnings are shared equally, and brand deal campaigns that work with athletes of all follower counts, the platform has created a path for every athlete to participate in the NIL economy.

Athlete Reviews: In Their Own Words
Tymir Jones, Cleveland State E-Sports
"Most platforms focus on football and basketball. NIL Club actually had brand deals that fit what I do. I've been able to earn while competing and building my stream, which helps cover equipment costs."
Julius Jordan, Cal Poly Football
"I tried other platforms that promised deals but never delivered. NIL Club actually came through. I've done campaigns with legit brands and the payment process is straightforward. What I appreciate most is earning alongside my teammates instead of competing against each other."

Ashlyn Miller, Guilford College Women's Soccer
"Playing at a D3 school, I figured NIL would pass me by. The big platforms only care about Power Five athletes. NIL Club showed me that wasn't true. I've earned money through our team's NIL Club and participated in brand campaigns I actually wanted to promote."
Caelyn Gunn, Colorado State Pueblo Women's Volleyball
"Compliance was my biggest concern. I didn't want to mess with my eligibility. NIL Club made it easy to understand what's allowed. Everything is set up to keep you protected. I've recommended it to athletes on other teams because I trust it's legit."

Why Trust Matters
Kieran Corr, Harvard Football
"There's a lot of noise in the NIL space. Companies promising huge payouts, random DMs from people claiming to have deals. NIL Club is a real platform with actual brand partners. The fact that major brands like Subway work with them tells you everything you need to know."
Sophia Taliaferro, Syracuse Softball
"What sold me was seeing how many athletes were already using it. Over 650,000 is not a small number. When that many people trust a platform, it's a clear sign that it works. Real brand campaigns, real payments, and real support when I had questions."
