I did not know about this. It has come up with Edey, who was severely curtailed from NIL money:
Because Edey is Canadian, he’s not legally allowed to make money through NIL deals that take place in the USA.
He can, however, conduct NIL deals when he returns to Canada, like when Purdue played Alabama in Toronto on December 9.
ACU has foreign players in Basketball and Tennis and maybe other sports. Are they not allowed to do NIL deals? This might stop the inflow of 7 footers from overseas who play for WAC schools, really all schools.

Virtually all foreign student-athletes have legal residency in the United States on an F-1 visa, colloquially known as a student visa. This legal residency is offered to full-time students enrolled in accredited American universities. The critical aspect of the student visa in the context of NIL endorsement opportunities is the restrictions on student employment. Students on an F-1 visa are not allowed to engage in employment outside of “on-campus” work or other specific programs geared toward career development – none of these exemptions allow for traditional influencer-based NIL activations.
