Student athletes' managing GIG, NIL, and the Transfer Portal before they finish eligibility and graduate prepares them for the next career beyond their sport.

Dr. Wightman invites Vin McCaffrey, founder and CEO at Game Plan, to discuss competitive college athletes define their career paths in and out of their sport.  With the presence of Name, Image and Likeness programs providing an income stream for elite student athletes there may be a desire to play college sports for as long as they can.  Pro athletes have been adding GIG income to their portfolio for each promotion they participate in.  Just look at Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rogers grow GIG income from their State Farm Insurance advertising promotions.  Just like a good neighbor may describe the many opportunities student athletes have available to them and yet there are an equal amount of distratctions.  

So, who or what may help a student athlete create a framework for maximizing their opportunities.  Vin McCaffrey and his Game Plan team provides resources and guidance for student athletes.  The G-Plan team focuses on the student athlete and does not forget the influence of academic adivsors, coaches, staff, and faculty.  It is truly a family that should support student athletes make sense of their very busy and every changing environment.
