FAQ’S

Does it matter how many followers I have?
Regardless of your follower count, we have brands looking to partner with you.
Can I work with other brands/agencies if I sign up with Sway Athletes?
Absolutely! We fully support your right to pursue NIL opportunities outside of Sway Group.
What does NIL stand for? And why is it so important to college sports?
NIL stands for Name, Image, and Likeness. The new NCAA rules mean that college student-athletes (who live in a state where legislation has been passed) may now receive payment from third-party institutions in exchange for using their names, images or likenesses.
Has NIL been adopted by states everywhere? Is a federal law coming?
Not yet: this map tracks states where governors have signed NIL bills into law. While no federal legislation is in place yet, Congress plans to continue discussing federal college sports reform in the future.
How will I make money?
Once you sign up with our influencer network, we’ll contact you via email with potential brand campaign opportunities, so make sure to check your inbox. Payment is sent after you’ve been selected for a campaign ad it concludes.
What type of companies could I potentially work with?
Once you sign up with our influencer network, we’ll contact you with potential brand campaign opportunities. Payment is sent after campaign conclusion.
Are you just looking for college football and basketball players?
Not at all: brands are very interested in working with all sorts of student athletes across a variety of sports, leagues, and divisions.
Do I need a manager?
No you do not. Most of the 30K influencers in our network do not have managers.
