Oscar Tshiebwe now eligible for NIL deals

NIL has been a game-changer within college athletics, but not everyone has been able to take advantage of it.

Among the student-athletes unable to take part in many NIL deals thus far is Kentucky Wildcats center Oscar Tshiebwe.

To this point, Tshiebwe wasn’t allowed to participate in these deals because of his visa status. His student visa that restricts his ability to work, though he’s been allowed to make Cameo videos for fans because it doesn’t meet the criteria of work as defined by visa restrictions.

Thankfully, it appears the visa restrictions are no longer an issue, as Tshiebwe has announced on Twitter that he’s open for business.
