Advance Announces New and Improved eLearning With Game Plan

Game Plan and Advance are excited to continue their partnership that aims to educate student-athletes on the complexities of NIL. Through this continued collaboration, Game Plan can continue to update and allow the best education regarding all the components of NIL.

Advance is an industry leader in NIL education, athlete protection, and athlete development. Founded by a non-agent sports attorney and a Wall Street worker, Advance is able to provide the best information regarding endorsement and agent contracts, and also financial management. More than 40,000 college and high school athletes have been impacted through their practical and unbiased programs. 

Advance online education will be available on Game Plan’s eLearning through this continued collaboration. Updated eLearning topics will include: NIL 101: The Basics, NIL Collectives, NIL Impact: Financial Aid and Taxes, NIL Policies and Regulations, and NIL Resources.

“With the excitement and opportunity for student-athletes to participate in NIL deals, formal policies and encouraged best practices are still evolving every day.” Says Julie Parkes, Senior Director of eLearning at Game Plan. “Student-athletes must be knowledgeable about their rights so they can make informed decisions to maximize their earning potential while maintaining their academic and athletic commitments. The Advance team has their finger on the pulse in this landscape and we are so proud to partner with them and spread their advocacy for NIL education.

Going into Fall of 2024, the education Advance provides is critical for student-athletes now more than ever. Athletes can sign with NIL agents, earn significant compensation, and enter into binding contracts. To successfully navigate all of this, they need to have real-world practical education that is truly unbiased.
