nil. "zero," especially when you're talking about scores in a sporting event: "the final score was twelve-nil."


NIL. "name, image and likeness", especially when you're talking about what the NCAA currently allows college athletes to earn from their own name, image and likeness (NIL): "the athlete was in the NCAA football video game, but got nil for their NIL."
