After initially believing that foreign athletes would be excluded from NIL deals, it’s apparent that colleges have figured out a process whereby foreign athletes can apply for EB-1, O-1 or P-1 visas, all of which allow them to sign NIL deals. I suspect that UConn’s players have P-1 visas, which permits NIL deals for athletes competing at an “internationally recognized level of performance” which would include playing on their respective national teams in FIBA, European Championships, World Championship or Olympic competitions.

Or they have found a workaround such that the income isn't technically being earned in the U.S. There are youtubers from other countries that come here who are also able to do this.

Can't help wondering/inquiring: Will help recruiting, especially overseas.
Foreign players can’t get NIL but maybe just because it’s cool.

Having posted as I've posted, we also know Geno doesn't want players who put NIL first on their list of priorities. I wish I could remember which recent interview it was where he pointed out all the good players he has coming in and that none of them inquired about NIL. Good on them.
