Student-athletes on F-1 visas are indeed restricted in terms of NIL income, but there are many workarounds and other routes to receive NIL funds:

- some international student-athletes actually have permanent residency (green cards) or citizenship through a relative.
- some (particularly in individual sports) have O-1 or P-1 visas.
- most common workaround: work performed while physically outside the US (even for US employers) is not subject to any visa limitations, so NIL agreements are structured so that all of the athlete's "duties" are performed outside the US during the summer. or offseason.
