DESCRIPTION
Leigh Steinberg Series for the Protection of Student Athletes: (Part 2) Mother May I? – NIL x Immigration workarounds
This presentation will build on the discussion outlined in Module 1 and tackle the question of whether various “workarounds” proposed and implemented by NIL industry stakeholders are compliant with immigration law. Our discussion will include the following topics:
- Review of the definition of “employment” as covered in Module 1
- The role of the consular officer and the spectrum of risk involved in relying on workarounds to the F-1 rules
- Performing NIL activities outside the United States
- The concept of “passive income” and whether compliance is possible with both immigration law and the NCAA rules
- Workaround case studies – what works and what does not
