The rules at Green Bay
| Question | What is published | Source |
|---|---|---|
| School NIL policy | UW-Green Bay "Overview of Name, Image, and Likeness Policy", marked "Updated September 8, 2022", linked as "GB NIL Policy" from the NIL Resources page. It bars pay without work performed, pay contingent on enrollment, pay for athletic participation or achievement and pay "By an institution or its staff members"; bars staff from arranging pay or from involvement in an athlete's NIL activity; keeps NIL out of official team activities; and says a cancellation or reduction of athletic aid "will not be based on" an athlete engaging in NIL. It says it "will remain in effect until the state of Wisconsin passes student-athlete Name, Image, and Likeness laws, or the NCAA passes legislation governing all NIL activities" | Green Bay Athletics, NIL Policy (updated 2022-09-08) and NIL Resources |
| How deals are disclosed | NIL Go for third-party deals of $600 or more within five business days (NCAA Bylaws 22.2.2, 22.2.2.2). The 2022 policy says athletes entering NIL deals "are required to disclose those deals to the Athletic Compliance office through Opendorse"; a 2024-25 NIL Disclosure Form says "A form must be completed for each activity or contract for which you have been or will be compensated" and asks for the parties, terms, pay, any agent and any facility use. Wisconsin law: a student athlete "shall disclose in the manner prescribed by the board or institution each 3rd-party agreement" for NIL "before the student athlete enters into the agreement" (§ 36.11(12)(g)) | Green Bay Athletics, NIL Policy (2022) and NIL Disclosure Form (2024-25); NCAA Division I Manual 2026-27; /nil/college/wisconsin |
| Banned categories | Wisconsin law bars a UW System athlete from an NIL agreement if any provision conflicts with an agreement of the board or a policy of the board, the institution or an intercollegiate athletic program, or if the pay is in exchange for athletic performance or for endorsing cigarettes, tobacco products, electronic vaping devices, alcohol beverages, gambling (including sports betting and casino gambling), banned athletic substances (including anabolic steroids), any illegal substance or illegal activity, or any other activity proscribed by the board (§ 36.11(12)(h)). Green Bay's 2022 policy says "there are no specified prohibitions on the types of businesses or industries" but that athletes "are strongly encouraged not to pursue deals" in "Prohibited Sponsorship Categories", defined to include sponsorships that promote tobacco products, NCAA banned or illegal substances, or sports wagering, and sponsorships in conflict with school contracts or policy | /nil/college/wisconsin; Green Bay Athletics, NIL Policy (2022) |
| School marks and group licensing | Athletes may identify themselves as Green Bay athletes in NIL work; using UWGB intellectual property needs written approval from the External Operations office within athletics and must align with the department's branding and licensing guidelines. The NIL Resources page links licensed NIL merchandise through Athlete's Thread. A group licensing program: Not published | Green Bay Athletics, NIL Policy (2022) and NIL Resources |
| Revenue sharing | The College Sports Commission's 2026-27 table lists the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay as a participating school, and the commission puts the 2026-27 cap at "approximately $21.58 million per school" (read 2026-10-24). No Green Bay amounts or allocation were found. In a letter dated 2024-10-21, Director of Athletics Josh Moon wrote that with "pending revenue sharing" and a national settlement expected in 2025, "we must act now to ensure we are competitive in the market". Wisconsin law lets the Board of Regents enter agreements to pay athletes for NIL and keeps NIL agreement terms out of public records (§ 36.11(12)(b), (i)) | College Sports Commission; Green Bay Athletics, Letter from the AD (2024-10-21); /nil/college/wisconsin |
| Collective or NIL group | Fly with the Phoenix. The NIL Resources page (read 2026-10-24) calls it "the official NIL Collective of the Green Bay Phoenix", and a Green Bay Athletics release of 2023-12-05 named it "the Official NIL (Name, Image & Likeness) Collective of Phoenix Athletics", started in 2022 by former athletes, alumni and local business professionals, with membership tiers from $250 to $2,000. The AD's 2024 letter calls it "a separate 501(c)(3) organization", "heavily focused on men's and women's basketball", and names an associate AD as liaison. The collective's own site says "we do not share any affiliation with UW-Green Bay". Green Bay's 2024-25 disclosure form says institutional NIL services "are provided ONLY to those student-athletes who have secured their NIL opportunity through The Fly with the Phoenix Collective" where the agreement is at or above $600. Green Bay also launched RISE, an Opendorse marketplace, on 2022-11-04 | Green Bay Athletics, NIL Resources, collective release (2023-12-05), Letter from the AD (2024-10-21), NIL Disclosure Form (2024-25) and RISE release (2022-11-04); Fly with the Phoenix Collective |
| Agents and representation | Green Bay's 2022 policy says the school "will not provide legal consultation" on NIL agreements and that athletes "are encouraged to have legal representation review contracts". The 2025-26 handbook lists an agreement with an agent, runner or financial advisor as an amateurism risk, adding "there are some exceptions in regard to NIL. Please ask the compliance office". Wisconsin law: UW schools may not bar NIL representation "by an agent or licensed attorney for legal matters" (§ 36.11(12)(c)2.); athlete agents register with the Department of Safety and Professional Services, and agent and athlete notify the athletic director within 72 hours or before the next scheduled athletic event, whichever is first | Green Bay Athletics, NIL Policy (2022) and 2025-26 Student-Athlete Handbook; /nil/college/wisconsin |
| Compliance contact | Green Bay Athletics Compliance Office, 2420 Nicolet Drive, Green Bay, WI 54311. The compliance page lists a Deputy Director of Athletics, Compliance; the staff directory lists a Senior Associate AD for Compliance and Student-Athlete Excellence | Green Bay Athletics, Compliance and Staff Directory |
| State law | In force. Wis. Stat. § 36.11(12), in force since 2026-04-10, covers UW System athletes: the Board of Regents may enter agreements to pay athletes for NIL, athletes disclose each third-party deal before entering into it, listed categories and conflicting deals are barred, and deal terms are closed to public records requests | /nil/college/wisconsin |
What is specific to Green Bay
UW-Green Bay is a University of Wisconsin System school with no football team, separate from UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee. Its published NIL policy, marked "Updated September 8, 2022", says it "will remain in effect until the state of Wisconsin passes student-athlete Name, Image, and Likeness laws, or the NCAA passes legislation governing all NIL activities". Wisconsin's law took effect on 2026-04-10, and the policy linked from the NIL Resources page on 2026-10-24 is still the 2022 version, which says it sets no specified prohibitions on businesses or industries while the statute now bars several categories for UW System athletes. Green Bay ties school help with deals to its collective: its 2024-25 disclosure form says institutional NIL services go "ONLY" to athletes who secured their deal through Fly with the Phoenix, at $600 or more. The school calls Fly with the Phoenix its official collective, while the collective's own site says it has no affiliation with UW-Green Bay.
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 Green Bay
Does Green Bay pay its athletes?
The College Sports Commission's 2026-27 table lists UW-Green Bay as participating in revenue sharing, and the commission puts the 2026-27 cap at about $21.58 million per school. Wisconsin law lets the UW Board of Regents enter agreements to pay athletes for NIL. Green Bay has not published amounts or how it divides the money.
What NIL collective works with UW-Green Bay?
Fly with the Phoenix. Green Bay Athletics named it its official NIL collective on 2023-12-05 and still calls it that on its NIL Resources page, and the athletic director's 2024 letter describes it as a separate 501(c)(3) heavily focused on basketball. The collective's site says it has no affiliation with UW-Green Bay.
How do Green Bay Phoenix athletes report NIL deals?
Green Bay's 2022 policy has athletes disclose deals to the Athletic Compliance office through Opendorse, and Wisconsin law has UW System athletes disclose each third-party deal before entering into it. NCAA Bylaws 22.2.2 and 22.2.2.2 also call for reporting deals of $600 or more to NIL Go within five business days.
What NIL deals are banned for Green Bay athletes?
Wisconsin law bars UW System athletes from deals that pay for athletic performance or for endorsing cigarettes, tobacco, electronic vaping devices, alcohol, gambling including sports betting, banned athletic substances, any illegal substance or activity, or any other activity the Board of Regents proscribes, and from deals that conflict with board, school or team agreements or policies. Green Bay's 2022 policy, written before that law, sets no specified prohibitions and lists "Prohibited Sponsorship Categories" athletes are encouraged to avoid.
Are UW-Green Bay NIL contracts public records?
Under Wis. Stat. § 36.11(12)(i), records held by the UW System about any term or detail of an NIL agreement or proposed agreement are not open to public inspection, copying or disclosure under the open records law.
