NIL ( Name, Image, Likeness has transformed college athletics by allowing student-athletes to earn income from endorsements, social media, merchandise, appearances, and other business opportunities while maintaining their eligibility to compete. Dann Kabala will trace the evolution of NIL, discuss its far-reaching impact on college sports, and examine how the transfer portal and athlete compensation are reshaping today's collegiate landscape. Dann is Vice President of Name, Image, and Likeness at Rutgers University, where he oversees third-party NIL operations for all sports. Before joining Rutgers in January 2026, he spent eight seasons at Penn State, leading its NIL program and its 5th Quarter/Player Development department.
