Stories
Sourced stories and athlete features that make this topic easier to understand, share, and revisit.
A Utah business can put its name beside local sports three ways: a school sponsorship, a sponsorship of a media outlet's coverage, or a deal with an athlete. Each is a different purchase with different rules, and the FTC expects sponsored content to say so.
A Utah business can pay a college athlete to promote a real product or service. The athlete reports any deal worth $600 or more to NIL Go, Utah law bars six categories, and a business tied to the athlete's school gets a harder review.
