35 YEARS

The Architect of NIL

BOB SMITH

Founder & CEO, Nationsbest · Architect of NIL

“I built the Nationsbest Golden Dome for you. Tell me what you need—and let’s get started.”

For 35 years, football has been more than a game to Bob — it has been his life’s mission. An NFL-accredited media professional since 1994 and a 15-year member of the Football Writers Association of America, he has covered 14 Super Bowls on-site and has been activating NIL athlete campaigns since 2009. He founded Nationsbest, the NIL Sports Business Association, and NIL Dream Team, created the Nationsbest NIL Golden Dome and the NIL Rules Engine, and is caretaker of The Football Green Book’s 40-year legacy.
