Leave is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Campbell University, its athletics department or its conference. Everything here comes from what Campbell University, its conference, the state of North Carolina and the NCAA have published, linked under Sources and read on October 24, 2026. "Not published" means the school has not published it.
The rules at Campbell
| Question | What is published | Source |
|---|---|---|
| School NIL policy | Campbell Athletics Policy on Name, Image, and Likeness (posted as the 2022-23 policy on 2022-09-22): compensation "must be commensurate with fair market value"; "Campbell University, the athletic department, and staff members may not compensate or arrange compensation" for NIL; boosters may not be involved except for their own products; no NIL pay "in exchange for athletic performance or current/future attendance". It ends by saying the guidelines may change with changes by "the NCAA, Big South Conference, or Campbell University". The NIL page and an NIL FAQ on the compliance site carry the same rules. No later policy was found | Campbell Athletics, NIL Policy 2022-23 and Compliance NIL page and FAQ (read 2026-10-24) |
| How deals are disclosed | NCAA: third-party deals of $600 or more go to NIL Go within five business days (Bylaws 22.2.2, 22.2.2.2). Campbell: the 2022-23 policy says athletes "are required to disclose any NIL agreements within four days of entering into such agreements, and prior to participating in NIL activity, via INFLCR Verified", and the NIL page says "All NIL transactions must be disclosed on the INFCLR app either by the student-athlete or the business/individual providing the benefits". North Carolina law sets no disclosure rule | NCAA Division I Manual 2026-27; Campbell Athletics, NIL Policy 2022-23 and NIL page |
| Banned categories | North Carolina law lists none. Campbell's 2022-23 policy excludes agreements "associated with gambling/sports wagering vendors, alcohol vendors, tobacco vendors, adult entertainment vendors, any vendors associated with athletic performance enhancing drugs, or any vendors that contradict with the values of Campbell University". The NIL FAQ lists "tobacco, alcohol, illegal substances, sports betting, gambling or adult entertainment products or services" | Campbell Athletics, NIL Policy 2022-23 and NIL FAQ; /nil/college/north-carolina |
| School marks and group licensing | The 2022-23 policy says no Campbell mark or logo is "worn/used/associated with" an athlete's promotion of commercial products "unless appropriate rights have been granted to the business through licensing agreements", and that facilities may be used only for athletes' own camps and clinics, with advance approval. The NIL FAQ says Campbell's policies "prohibit student-athletes from using Campbell's marks, logos, or facilities while engaging in NIL activities". Campbell named Affinity Licensing to run its trademark licensing program on 2025-06-09. Group licensing for NIL: Not published | Campbell Athletics, NIL Policy 2022-23 and NIL FAQ; Campbell Athletics release (2025-06-09) |
| Revenue sharing | The College Sports Commission puts the 2026-27 cap at "approximately $21.58 million per school" and lists Campbell University (Coastal Athletic Association) as participating in 2026-27 (read 2026-10-24). The CAA announced on 2025-01-29 that its "Board of Directors and its member institutions have committed to opting into the pending NCAA House settlement by March 1, 2025". Campbell's own statement or figures: Not published | College Sports Commission; Coastal Athletic Association release (2025-01-29) |
| Collective or NIL group | Not published. Campbell names no collective. Its published NIL marketplace is the Fighting Camels Exchange, launched with INFLCR on 2022-09-22 as "a directory and customized portal to connect businesses, collectives, donors, alumni and fans with student-athletes"; the release says "INFLCR and Campbell will not be involved in any of the negotiations" and that "Campbell will opt-in all student-athletes, who may opt out if they choose not to participate". The Exchange link on Campbell's NIL page did not load on 2026-10-24. On 2026-08-24 Campbell announced a partnership with Lane & Associates Family Dentistry that includes "a significant future commitment to support Campbell's football NIL efforts"; no terms were published | Campbell Athletics releases (2022-09-22, 2026-08-24) and NIL page |
| Agents and representation | The 2022-23 policy lets athletes "obtain a professional service provider" for NIL, and says a representation contract for NIL "may not extend beyond participation in athletic program at Campbell University". The NIL FAQ says an agent "must be registered" and an attorney "must be a member in good standing with a state bar association". Campbell's older agent policy has agents register with the Compliance Office and show a North Carolina license. State law: an NIL agency contract is an agency contract under G.S. 78C, so the agent registers with the Secretary of State, the contract carries an NIL warning, and the athlete may cancel within 14 days | Campbell Athletics, NIL Policy 2022-23, NIL FAQ and Agent Policy; /nil/college/north-carolina |
| Compliance contact | Campbell Athletics Compliance Office (gocamels.com, Compliance). The staff directory's NCAA Compliance section lists Melissa Wendt, Interim Director of Athletics and SWA, 910-893-1334, and a Compliance Graduate Assistant (read 2026-10-24). Campbell named Wendt interim AD effective 2026-09-17, and its release of 2026-10-07 announced Corey Jenkins as director of athletics (the release gives no start date) | Campbell Athletics, Staff Directory and releases (2026-08-26, 2026-10-07) |
| State law | Narrow law. North Carolina has no general college NIL statute; S.L. 2025-46 brings NIL agency contracts under G.S. 78C, which has no exception for private schools such as Campbell, and makes NIL contract records confidential under the Public Records Act, which reaches public agencies. Executive Order 223 was rescinded on 2024-03-08 | /nil/college/north-carolina |
What is specific to Campbell
Campbell's NIL rules were written for a different conference and a different state rule. The posted policy is labeled 2022-23, and its last line still names the "Big South Conference"; Campbell now plays in the CAA. The NIL page says the policies are "in accordance with North Carolina's executive order" and links Executive Order No. 223, and the FAQ cites "North Carolina law" for its limits on inducements and staff involvement; that order was rescinded on 2024-03-08 (/nil/college/north-carolina). Two Campbell rules stand out. International athletes are told that Campbell's legal counsel advises them "not to engage in NIL activities or transactions as it may violate the student-athlete's F-1 visa status", and the policy routes them to the Office of Global Education first. And the 2022 launch release for the Fighting Camels Exchange, INFLCR's directory for businesses and collectives, says every athlete is enrolled unless they opt out; the Exchange link on Campbell's NIL page did not load on 2026-10-24. Campbell's release of 2026-08-26 says 20 of its programs compete in the CAA and wrestling competes in the Southern Conference, and 2026-27 is its 50th NCAA Division I season. On 2026-10-07 Campbell announced Corey Jenkins as director of athletics; the release lists "NIL operations" in his background.
How Leave fits
In Leave, every deal thread carries a rules summary for the athlete's state and level, and keeps the contract, its dates and the disclosure deadline that applies. It is a summary, not a ruling; the school and the law decide. Leave is software, not an agent, and takes 0% of any deal. You decide, you send.
Questions about NIL at Campbell
Does Campbell pay its athletes?
Campbell is on the College Sports Commission's list of revenue-sharing schools for 2026-27, and the Commission puts the cap at about $21.58 million per school. The CAA said on 2025-01-29 that its board and member institutions "have committed to opting into the pending NCAA House settlement by March 1, 2025". Campbell has published no revenue-sharing statement or figures, and its posted 2022-23 NIL policy still says the university and its staff "may not compensate or arrange compensation" for NIL.
How do Campbell athletes report NIL deals?
Two ways apply. NCAA rules have third-party deals of $600 or more reported to NIL Go within five business days. Campbell's 2022-23 policy has athletes disclose NIL agreements through INFLCR Verified within four days of entering them and before doing the NIL activity.
Can Campbell athletes wear Campbell gear or logos in NIL deals?
Campbell's NIL FAQ answers "No": its policies "prohibit student-athletes from using Campbell's marks, logos, or facilities while engaging in NIL activities". The policy allows marks only where the business has licensing rights, and facilities only for athletes' own camps and clinics with approval in advance.
Can international students at Campbell do NIL deals?
Campbell's NIL page says international athletes "are currently advised by Campbell University's legal counsel not to engage in NIL activities or transactions" because of F-1 visa status, and the policy says they "shall not enter into any NIL agreements without guidance from Campbell University's Office of Global Education".
Does Campbell have an NIL collective?
Campbell has not named one. Its published NIL marketplace is the Fighting Camels Exchange, an INFLCR directory launched on 2022-09-22 where businesses, collectives, donors and fans could find and message athletes, with all athletes enrolled unless they opted out. The Exchange link on Campbell's NIL page did not load on 2026-10-24.
Does an NIL agent need to register to represent a Campbell athlete?
Under North Carolina's G.S. 78C, as amended in 2025, an NIL agency contract is an agency contract, so the agent registers with the Secretary of State and the athlete may cancel within 14 days; the law has no private-school exception. Campbell's NIL FAQ says an agent "must be registered" and an attorney must be in good standing with a state bar.
Be your own agent. Leave.
