They can make "passive" NIL income. This prohibits most external NIL opportunities, other than things like royalties from video games, which obviously doesn't apply to tennis. However, many schools are paying international athletes a portion of their rev share under the theory that it is a passive license of their NIL for the school to use.

wonder how they got around that?
Probably the old fashioned way.

Depends on the country and type of visa

It's not just LSU. Check out the rosters of NCAA Div 1 schools in swimming and track and field (especially distance events). We are training other countries athletes to beat ours at the Olympics.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think it was explained that since the international students can't get NIL, they are more than happy to just take a full-ride scholarship. Ya know, kinda like how it used to be for everyone...
A top line international player gets around 150-250k per year. It doesn’t go through the standard NIL, but it’s NIL, not rev share.

LSU tennis has been doing this for a very long time. Both men’s and women’s teams were highly ranked this year and that’s great to see for a non-revenue sport. The difference was in bringing in better coaching even though they aren’t highly paid. We should try that in other sports rather than just settle for mediocrity. May not bring in any revenue but you gotta love it when LSU has highly competitive programs in multiple sports.

I don’t know tennis much at all, so I read this as some kind of STD.
I’ll see myself out
