Dear Friends of BC Athletics:
As many of you are aware, the world of intercollegiate athletics is undergoing substantial change, with student-athletes now having the opportunity to monetize their name, image and likeness (NIL).
BC Athletics seeks to graduate our 700 varsity student-athletes, compete for championships in our 31 Division I sports, and develop our players to become men and women for others. For Boston College teams to continue to compete in NCAA sports, we need to attract and retain elite student-athletes, which in today's world includes supporting their efforts to benefit from their NIL.
