College NIL Hub
Tracking NIL activity at Florence's college programs — Francis Marion University, Florence-Darlington Technical College, and Coker University.
What is NIL?
Name, Image

NIL stands for Name, Image, and Likeness. South Carolina's NIL law (H4957, signed May 2024) applies to intercollegiate athletes only — meaning college athletes at Francis Marion University, Florence-Darlington Technical College, and Coker University can earn through endorsements, sponsorships, and brand partnerships. High school NIL is NOT permitted in South Carolina.

SC College NIL Law (H4957)
What College Athletes CAN Do
  • College athletes can sign endorsement deals with local and national brands
  • College athletes can earn from social media content, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram
  • College athletes can charge for autograph signings and personal appearances
  • College athletes can run their own sports camps or clinics for compensation
  • College athletes can hire a licensed sports agent or NIL advisor
  • School logos and uniforms cannot appear in NIL deals without institutional approval
  • NIL activities must comply with NCAA rules and conference policies
