Syracuse University is committed to the support of our students and student athletes. Please view our student athlete Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) policy.
Student athletes who would like to engage the production of co-branded Syracuse University merchandise in order to monetize likeness and increase brand exposure are simply required to use a current licensee who also maintains the Name Image Likeness licensure.
Please view the list of our retail merchandising opportunities, agreements, and licensees who are engaged in the Name Image and Likeness licensure below. If any questions related to use of Syracuse University trademarks or details on the relationships mentioned, reach out to the Office of Trademark Licensing.
