This week we discuss two major events: Wiz Khalifa’s entrance into the NIL game and the first inter-species NIL deal! That is right, Nillie sponsored a member of Georgia Southern University’s first ratsketball team! We discuss the terms of our rat NIL deal with Ratatouille Duke and his performance during his first tournament.
Our NIL Mathlete segment covers Wiz Khalifa’s NIL deal promoting his “45 Minute Beatdown.”
Our guest this week is Intern Ephraim. For his final internship project, Ephraim describes his experience interning for VicTreeFi and gives athletes advice on creating brand graphics.
In our News and Facts segment, we discuss the launch of the Miconopee 1851 Collective’s Meet Miconopee podcast, how Exit 56 is helping athletes publish books, Michigan State’s inaugural EverGreen NIL Celebration, the fact Colorado State is launching the Stalwart Journey NIL program, and Atlantic Records’ partnership with INFLCR.
We hear from Nillie Athletes Lawrence Steed, Juliana Lentz, Kedrick Edwards, and Lewis Matthews III. We discuss our favorite recent nillies including Alan Incorporated and Favor Desserts’ deal with Jalea Culliver and Tori Wilson from the Rise HBCU Collective and Nerf’s deal with Sedona Prince, Paige Bueckers, Jon Seaton, Jabril Williams, A.J.
