Compensation for College Athletes!!

In July 2021, the National Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA) followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and gave permission to College Athletes to earn money from organizations that use their Name and Public Image to promote their products and services. That include Endorsement, Personal appearance, and Autograph signing. Before that ruling came into effect, colleges were receiving money and paying NOTHING to those Athletes who were involved in promoting commercial products. Damn!! That is a lot of "Loot" those colleges were keeping in their pockets/endowment accounts.

Businesses/Brands Reaction:- As soon as the U.S. Supreme Court ruling came into effect, a flood of endorsement deals from Local and National brands poured into Colleges for top Athletes, and many Athletes have received endorsement deals. The numbers of Athletes are too numerous to mention here.

Athletes Reaction:-Hercy Miller, an incoming freshman basketball player to Tennessee State University (TSU) has signed a 4year, $2million contract with WebApps America.

University of Connecticut (UConn.) Huskies point guard, Paige Bueckers, TradeMark her nickname, "Paige Buckets" and signed a 3 year endorsement contract as the brand ambassador for StockX, an on-line footware and apparel marketplace platform. That contracts is estimated around $6 million.

A basketball player at the University of Iowa has announced a line of branded apparel that he plans to released. 

Independent Contractors (IRC- 6017):-Athletes who received compensation (IRC 61) will be isues Form-1099 by the College or Corporation to report their income to the IRS and State(s) (IRC- 446) as Resident, Non-Resident or Part-Year Resident. Athletes are qualified to deduct all necessary business expenses that they incurred(IRC- 63, 162, 195, 280).

Tax Advisor:- A Non-Cash deal can be problamatic if it is not handled properly. If, instead of receiving Cash, an Athlete is given a New Car to drive for one or more years, the IRS will treat the use of the Car as Taxable Income (IRC 61 and 111). Athletes should work closely with a Tax Advisor to develop a Business and Personal goal/plan. It is a clear Financial Plan to manage their Income and Expenses and pay Federal and State income taxes, in addition to investing wisely in assets that will appreciate/compound in value overtime.
