In this episode of the Financial Roundtable Podcast, the team is joined by David Brookbank, adjunct professor at ASU Law and co-founder of Income Protection Consultants, to discuss how student and professional athletes can protect their income through disability insurance.

The conversation explores how recent changes around NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) and revenue-sharing agreements are reshaping college athletics—and why insurance has become a critical part of the conversation.

Topics covered include:

• The financial risks athletes face if injury ends their career
• The evolving role of disability insurance in recruiting and compensation
• Key differences in disability policy language and what to watch for
• How schools and athletes are adapting to new legal and financial frameworks
• Common misconceptions about guaranteed contracts and payout limitations

This episode offers valuable insight for athletes, coaches, athletic departments, and advisors navigating today’s changing sports landscape.
