One of the most challenging things about the NIL market in college sports is how international athletes are affected by the rules. As of now, there is no real clear-cut answer or guidance that outlines how international athletes can take advantage of NIL opportunities. Most international college athletes are on an F1 visa, which makes it difficult for them to accept compensation of any kind stemming from their Name Image and Likeness. However, there are several examples of international athletes receiving NIL deals, like Miami Punter and Australian native, Lou Hedley. It is very frustrating in our college hockey market because approximately 30% of college hockey players are Canadian. It is a very difficult space to navigate that no one really seems to have a clear answer for. A lot of international athletes are not able to take advantage of many opportunities in college sports. I am hoping in the coming years that international athletes will have a clearer picture of what they can and cannot do in the NIL industry, because right now there is very little guidance. #nil #collegesports #internationalathletes #hockey #sports #canada #CGMSports #college #international

'\ Singapore’s Tchoukball Association is proud to host the inaugural Asia Pacific Schools Tchoukball Championships (APSTC) in 2025. This new competition aims to develop future national athletes and elevate the sport's standard in the region. The APSTC provides young Tchoukball enthusiasts with opportunities to represent their countries and grow the sport's popularity. The TBAS aims to strengthen the sport's foundation and maintain Singapore's prominence in Tchoukball. An organising secretariat comprising of education representatives from the various countries will be formed to determine the form and format of APSTC. Currently, the TBAS is considering to include Under 17 and Under 12 categories, with teams from various countries participating. Singapore’s players could be selected based on their performances in the National School Games (NSG). Although the NSG do not currently offer tchoukball competitions, the TBAS hopes that it will happen in the near future. Otherwise, TBAS will organise inter-schools tournaments to pick the team. We are excited to see young Tchoukball players from around the region showcase their skills and compete at the APSTC in 2025. https://lnkd.in/gy3QMSYq
