Sutton Special Risk and SiriusPoint partner to support colleges navigating NIL risks
Toronto, September 29, 2026 - SportsSecure™: Protecting Collegiate Athletic Investments in the NIL Era
Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) agreements, revenue-sharing programs, and athlete financial commitments are reshaping the financial landscape for college and university athletic programs. When unexpected injuries happen, the investment remains while athlete participation does not, and the financial pressure lands on the athletic program.
SportsSecure closes that gap. It’s designed to help college and university athletic programs manage injury-related financial exposure, protect the value of NIL and revenue-sharing commitments, and support long-term program stability.
SportsSecure is offered through a collaboration between SiriusPoint and Sutton Special Risk, bringing together underwriting, specialized insurance, and sports-related accident and health insurance expertise.
