Name, Image, Likeness

Lehigh University Student-Athletes now have the opportunity to benefit from their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL).  Lehigh Athletics is committed to the ongoing development of educational opportunities and guidance for our Student-Athletes to learn, grow and lead as impactful members of our community and beyond.   Lehigh has partnered with Influencer to provide education, branding, marketplace opportunities and an avenue for reporting of NIL activities to meet state and NCAA rules - protecting your eligibility. 

Adopted Lehigh Athletics Policy on Name, Image and Likeness, Version #4, July 2024

Lehigh student-athletes are free to pursue NIL opportunities as a way to benefit from their name, image, and likeness, so long as they adhere to NCAA regulations, Lehigh Athletics policy and state regulations.  The pursuit of our Student-Athlete NIL opportunities and requests for NIL engagement are not directed by or affiliated with Lehigh Athletics.  

*There are many NIL opportunities that our Student-Athletes can participate in while properly getting their engagement approved.  The NIL opportunities are not directly affiliated with Lehigh University or Lehigh Athletics, however we believe in and support the educational opportunities provided through the Influencer platform.
