Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4523867, member: 7511"] The issue of NIL and F1 student visas has to do with “passive income.” Foreign students maintaining F1 visas can not earn money from “work” while in the U.S., other than on-campus work-study jobs like working in the cafeteria. However, NCAA foreign athletes have already figured out a number of ways around this limitation. To start with, foreign athletes are signing NIL type agreements while in their home country, then returning to the US where they can earn passive income on t-shirt sales, etc. In addition, some foreign athletes have actually shot promotional videos and photographs, while in their home country, to be used to promote products in the US. Essentially, these foreign athletes are “working” in their own country and earning “passive income” in the US. [/QUOTE]
