NIL: Guess that Acronym

NWA Daily

  • A new era: With newly accepted guidelines, student-athletes are now permitted to earn revenue "based on their fame and celebrity without fear of endangering their eligibility or putting their school in jeopardy of violating amateurism rules that have stood for decades."
  • PetSmart and beyond: Trey Knox received an endorsement deal with PetSmart, and he's not the only Razorback entertaining deals like this. Jaylin Williams and Davonte Davis have also expressed their interest in deals like Knox's, and they have new logos to show for it!
