About this listen

NIL has turned student athletes into business owners overnight—but are they ready for what comes with it? In this episode of BABES BALLS & BRANDS™, host Janet Moreira sits down with Dontay Wilson, Lead Advisor at Cothrine Financial and founder of Blueprint Money Management, to break down the financial realities every athlete and parent needs to understand before signing that first deal.

Dontay knows the athlete journey firsthand. As a former running back at Kutztown University who grew up in the Bronx with dreams of the NFL, he understands the pressure, the identity struggle, and what happens when the game ends. Now, he's dedicated to making sure young athletes don't fumble the bag—helping them build financial literacy, confidence, and generational wealth that lasts beyond their playing careers.

What You'll Learn:

The three biggest financial shifts athletes face with NIL (taxes, budgeting, and long-term vision)

Red flags to watch for when vetting financial advisors

What credentials and questions matter when building your financial team

The 70/30 rule and other practical tools for managing NIL earnings
