UConn Announces Launch of NIL Marketplace, Powered by Opendorse - University of Connecticut Athletics

UConn's NIL Marketplace

uconnhuskies.com

UConn Insider Article:
-> The marketplace will act as a one-stop-shop for brands, fans and donors looking to partner with student-athletes through NIL. From UConn women’s basketball star Paige Bueckers to homegrown Husky Donovan Clingan, athletes will now have the chance to easily promote and profit off their personal brands through one all-encompassing portal.

"There’s two pieces to this," said Jason Butikofer, UConn's pinpoint leader on its NIL activity. "I think there’s the corporation-brand piece of, ‘OK, I’m looking for a student-athlete to do an Instagram campaign with my company. I want to use a UConn student-athlete that’s on the basketball team. I can click here and search through all that and based on their profiles, get a concept of who’s a good fit.’ …

"I also think that this is a strong fan-facing deal because you have student-athletes that are willing to do shoutouts, appearances … I’m excited about it. I think it’s going to definitely serve as the epicenter of the ability to connect. It centralizes it instead of maybe DM-ing somebody on Instagram." <-

I want a player to shout me out during a softball game. Wonder what that would cost?

Does anyone know if we can donate to a NIL?

We should make a pool of cash and give it to the player of the week as decided by the boneyard. Give the boys something to work for! Hah

I don’t think we could just give them cash, but we could hire them to create a video and post it on The Boneyard.

Ok….we can pay the player of the week to make a shoutout video to the boneyard.

Being able to buy Official UConn gear with the names and numbers of the players is key. It is odd not being able to do that.

At a minimum, we must be in the top 5 of the G5 for player NIL opportunities. I’m just guess ing here, but I would also expect to be be ranked higher than many P5 schools.
