ATLANTA (AP) — Hundreds of college athletes from schools all over the country are in Atlanta this week.

They are attending the inaugural NIL Summit. They are learning from companies about how to build their brands. The summit is the first since the NCAA cleared the way for college athletes to earn endorsement money last July. The NCAA was not at the summit and neither were athletic directors from the nation’s biggest schools.
