| School NIL policy | Wright State University Policy 3810, "Student-Athlete Compensation for Use of Name, Image, and Likeness" (created or revised and last reviewed 2025-03-07; policy manager the Athletics Director), linked from the athletics NIL page and cited in the 2025-26 handbook. It states its purpose as enforcing Ohio Executive Order 2021-10D "and any subsequent state or federal legislation as applicable". The NIL page also links Student-Athlete and Booster NIL Guidelines posted 2022-04-27 | Wright State University Policy 3810; Wright State Athletics, NIL page and Student-Athlete Handbook 2025-26 |
| 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). Policy 3810.3: within 30 days of enrollment an athlete discloses all current and expired NIL activities, unless the athlete declines Wright State's NIL assistance in writing; proposed NIL contracts go to the Athletics Compliance Office "for review for compliance with this policy before agreeing to the contract", with the parties, terms, payment structure, any service provider and its fee; and an athlete who fails to disclose has seven days after written notice to do so before discipline. The 2022 guidelines name NOCAP Sports for disclosure; the 2023 Raiders Marketplace release names the Opendorse app. Ohio law has the athlete disclose a proposed deal to the school before entering it (R.C. 3376.06(C)) | Wright State Policy 3810; Student-Athlete NIL Guidelines (2022); Raiders Marketplace release (2023-01-24); /nil/college/ohio |
| Banned categories | Policy 3810.5 bars NIL contracts associating an athlete with any company or brand tied to a controlled substance, marijuana or medical marijuana product, alcoholic product, tobacco product, electronic smoking device, vapor product or ingestible nicotine product; any medical marijuana cultivator, processor, laboratory or retail dispensary; adult entertainment businesses; and "Any casino or entity that sponsors or promotes gambling activities". Wright State may add similar categories, communicated before enrollment. Ohio law lets a school bar these categories (R.C. 3376.07) | Wright State Policy 3810; /nil/college/ohio |
| School marks and group licensing | Policy 3810.8: no use of Wright State intellectual property (name, trademarks, logos, colors, symbols, apparel with university marks, and uniforms) in NIL without prior written permission of the university's Office of Marketing in consultation with Athletics; athletes may say they are Wright State student-athletes and list accolades but may not imply university endorsement. Facilities and university resources need prior written approval and, for facilities, a rental agreement. Wright State announced on 2024-12-10 a partnership with Influxer, "an officially licensed vendor" through which every athlete can open a personalized apparel shop | Wright State Policy 3810; Influxer release (2024-12-10) |
| Revenue sharing | The College Sports Commission puts the 2026-27 cap at approximately $21.58 million per school and lists Wright State as participating in 2026-27. Wright State's House settlement FAQ says Wright State, "along with all members of the Horizon League", opted in. Its 2025-09-29 release says the NIL Program Manager "will lead the university's Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) efforts as well as revenue sharing". No amount or allocation is published | College Sports Commission; Wright State Athletics, House settlement FAQ and NIL Program Manager release (2025-09-29) |
| Collective or NIL group | Not published. No Wright State page names a collective. Athletic Director Joylynn Brown said on 2025-06-12: "As part of this new era, we are bringing NIL operations in-house to better streamline the process". Wright State's Opendorse-powered Raiders Marketplace (announced 2023-01-24) lets fans and businesses find and pitch athletes | Wright State Athletics releases (2023-01-24, 2025-06-12) |
| Agents and representation | Policy 3810.7 allows professional representation at the athlete's own cost; an athlete agent used for NIL "must conform with the Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4771 and comply with the Sports Agent Responsibility and Trust Act". The university will not negotiate for or represent an athlete (3810.10). Ohio law requires athlete agents to register with the Ohio athletic commission (R.C. 4771.06) and, since 2026-03-20, bars NIL agent contracts that run past eligibility (R.C. 4771.021) | Wright State Policy 3810; /nil/college/ohio |
| Compliance contact | Wright State Athletics Compliance Office: Deputy Athletics Director for Compliance (maigan.glass@wright.edu) and Academic Advisor and Compliance Coordinator, listed on the NIL page | Wright State Athletics, NIL page |
| State law | Ohio's college NIL law, R.C. Chapter 3376, is in force. Ohio schools may pay athletes for NIL, athletes disclose a proposed deal to the school before entering it, and NIL contracts signed since 2026-03-20 may not run past eligibility or send disputes outside Ohio | /nil/college/ohio |
What is specific to Wright State
Wright State's Policy 3810 is stricter on timing than many school policies: an athlete may not agree to an NIL contract, take payment or perform under it until the Athletics Compliance Office has reviewed and approved it, and every new athlete has 30 days after enrolling to disclose all current and expired NIL activity unless the athlete declines the university's NIL assistance in writing. The policy also lets Wright State hire third parties, such as a multimedia rights holder, attorney, tax service or NIL marketplace, to give athletes the support it may give, while the athlete keeps "final decision in accepting or rejecting" deals. After the House settlement was approved, Athletic Director Joylynn Brown said Wright State was bringing NIL operations in-house, and in September 2025 it named its first NIL Program Manager, a former compliance coordinator, to lead both NIL and revenue sharing.
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.
