The rules at UNC Greensboro
| Question | What is published | Source |
|---|---|---|
| School NIL policy | UNC Greensboro Department of Athletics, "Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) Interim Guidelines (as of 1.20.23)", linked from the athletics NIL page. It lists what athletes may, must and cannot do, and refers readers to the NCAA Interim Policy and "North Carolina Executive Order" (Executive Order 223 was rescinded on 2024-03-08). No newer UNCG NIL policy is posted | UNCG Athletics, NIL page and Interim Guidelines (2023-01-20) |
| 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). UNCG's 2023 guidelines list among what athletes "MUST" do: "Disclose all NIL activities to UNC Greensboro Department of Athletics through the INFLCR APP", and say prospective athletes "will be required to disclose all past NIL activities once signed". No North Carolina statute requires disclosure of NIL deals to the school | UNCG Interim Guidelines (2023); NCAA 2026-27 Division I Manual; /nil/college/north-carolina |
| Banned categories | UNCG's 2023 guidelines bar NIL activities promoting gambling (including casinos); tobacco, including alternative nicotine products; alcohol, firearms and associated accessories; illegal and NCAA banned substances; adult entertainment; or "Any other category that may not align with UNC Greensboro values", and bar agreements with sponsors that are competitors of UNCG's partners. North Carolina has no statutory list | UNCG Interim Guidelines (2023); /nil/college/north-carolina |
| School marks and group licensing | The 2023 guidelines let athletes use photos with UNCG marks for personal brand building on social media, but use of UNCG marks in NIL activities, and wearing UNCG apparel, uniforms or equipment, needs prior written approval from the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Business Operations. UNCG's licensing page lists the Senior Associate Athletic Director of Business Operations as the contact for athletic and spirit marks. On 2025-11-26 UNCG Athletics announced Influxer as "its first official partner in the name, image and likeness (NIL) retail landscape": athletes who join can sell personalized merchandise with officially licensed branding, "All designs are approved by the University", and the deal "is non-exclusive" | UNCG Interim Guidelines (2023); UNCG Athletics, Trademark/Licensing and release (2025-11-26) |
| Revenue sharing | The College Sports Commission lists UNC Greensboro as participating in 2026-27 and puts the cap for 2026-27 at approximately $21.58 million per school. UNCG Athletics' 2025-07-25 release says that "with UNCG Athletics opting in to the NCAA House settlement" the Spartan Club established the Spartan Impact Fund for "tax-deductible resources that help recruit, retain and support student-athletes". A trustees' Athletics Committee item of 2026-09-22 says revenue-share payments "come directly from the institution". UNCG's own figure for the settlement's damages, in the trustees' Athletics Committee item "ATH-3 House v. NCAA Settlement Discussion" (2025-02-04): "The impact to UNCG's budget will be roughly $290,000 annually over that span" (10 years). No revenue-sharing figure is published | UNCG Athletics release (2025-07-25); UNCG Board of Trustees, Athletics Committee (2025-02-04, 2026-09-22); College Sports Commission |
| Collective or NIL group | Spartans Unite. UNCG Athletics' 2023-09-05 release announced it as "a third-party entity" to create NIL opportunities for UNCG athletes and said "Spartans Unite is not officially affiliated through the University". Its own website (read 2026-10-24, copyright 2024) says it "is currently focused on NIL opportunities for UNCG basketball athletes". UNCG's NIL page does not name it | UNCG Athletics release (2023-09-05) and NIL page (read 2026-10-24); Spartans Unite website |
| Agents and representation | The 2023 guidelines let athletes retain professional representation or a financial advisor for NIL, "subject to North Carolina and federal laws", naming the Sports Agent Responsibility and Trust Act and the North Carolina Athlete Agent Act. State law since 2025-07-01: an NIL agency contract is an agency contract, agents register with the Secretary of State ($200 a year), the contract carries an NIL warning and can be cancelled within 14 days, and an agent who worked for or contracted with UNCG in the prior two years may not sign a UNCG athlete to an NIL agency contract | UNCG Interim Guidelines (2023); /nil/college/north-carolina |
| Compliance contact | UNCG Athletics staff directory, Compliance unit: Mark Lacey, Assistant AD for Compliance, 336-334-3001; Kerri Askew, Assistant Director for Compliance | UNCG Athletics, Staff Directory (read 2026-10-24) |
| State law | North Carolina has no general college NIL statute; S.L. 2025-46 brings NIL agents under the Uniform Athlete Agents Act and makes NIL contract records confidential, and Executive Order 223 was rescinded in 2024 (narrow law) | /nil/college/north-carolina |
What is specific to UNC Greensboro
The sports listed in UNC Greensboro's trustees' 2025 roster-limit table are baseball, men's and women's basketball, cross country and track, golf, soccer and tennis, softball and volleyball; football is not among them. Its 2023 guidelines are detailed on places and property: NIL activities in an athletics facility need permission from the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Internal Operations and the university rental rate, locker rooms, training rooms and team lounges are off limits, and a deal can conflict with UNCG agreements if it has an athlete wear another brand at team activities, promote beverages outside UNCG's list, or sell merchandise competing with the campus bookstore. The guidelines also say athletes on an F-1 or other non-immigrant visa "are not permitted to earn NIL compensation in the United States".
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 UNC Greensboro
Does UNC Greensboro pay its athletes?
UNCG Athletics wrote on 2025-07-25 that it had opted in to the House settlement, which permits direct revenue sharing, and the College Sports Commission lists UNC Greensboro for 2026-27, with a 2026-27 cap of about $21.58 million per school. A trustees' Athletics Committee item of 2026-09-22 says revenue-share payments come directly from the institution. UNCG has not published a figure or a description of how it pays.
What NIL collective works with UNC Greensboro?
UNCG Athletics announced Spartans Unite on 2023-09-05 as a third-party collective that "is not officially affiliated through the University". Its website says it is currently focused on UNCG basketball athletes. UNCG's Spartan Club separately runs the Spartan Impact Fund, set up after UNCG opted in to the House settlement.
How do UNCG athletes report NIL deals?
UNCG's 2023 interim guidelines have athletes disclose all NIL activities to the athletics department through the INFLCR app. The NCAA separately has third-party deals of $600 or more reported to NIL Go within five business days. North Carolina law does not require disclosure to the school.
Can international athletes at UNC Greensboro earn NIL money?
UNCG's 2023 guidelines say athletes on an F-1 or other non-immigrant visa "are not permitted to earn NIL compensation in the United States", and that international athletes wishing to conduct NIL activities outside the United States "should consult with Athletic Compliance prior to beginning those activities".
Can UNCG athletes use the UNCG logo in NIL deals?
UNCG's 2023 guidelines allow photos with UNCG marks for personal brand building on social media. Using UNCG marks in an NIL activity, or wearing UNCG apparel or uniforms, needs prior written approval from the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Business Operations, and athletes may not imply that UNCG endorses a product. UNCG's Influxer store, announced 2025-11-26, sells athletes' personalized merchandise with designs the university approves.
Is UNCG the same school as UNCW or North Carolina A&T?
No. UNC Greensboro (UNCG) is a separate university in the University of North Carolina System and plays in the Southern Conference. North Carolina A&T, which is also in Greensboro, and UNC Wilmington both play in the CAA and publish their own NIL rules.
