BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Bloomington area business leaders have a chance next week to learn about their opportunities to connect with IU student-athletes in NIL partnerships.
Indiana University's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee will host the Name, Image, and Likeness Summit on Monday, Sept. 18, in the south lobby of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall at 6 p.m. The event is free to attend and will include free food and special gifts for all participants. Businesses are asked to register for the event here.
This year's Summit is modeled after last year's highly successful NIL Community Mixer event that attracted more than 30 area businesses and 100-plus IU student-athletes. IU Athletics partners and NIL industry leaders Altius Sports and Opendorse will each have company executives on hand at this year's Summit, while IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Dolson and members of the IU compliance staff will also participate and discuss the ever-changing NIL landscape.
"Indiana University has been a national leader in the NIL space since day one, and this year's Summit is just another example of that leadership and commitment," Dolson said. "Our support in this area stretches across all 24 of our varsity sports programs and to all of our nearly 700 student-athletes, and this event offers an avenue for all of them to engage with area businesses and explore meaningful partnerships."
NIL education is a priority for this year's event, and attendees will get an overview of the NCAA and IU Athletics rules and protocols related to Name, Image and Likeness. It will also offer a look at the multitude of NIL partnership opportunities now available for businesses to make with IU student-athletes, ranging from in-kind deals, traditional endorsements, and public appearances, among others.
"Last year's event was tremendously productive in terms of educating businesses about NIL, and we are excited to take what was done a year ago and take it to another level to create win-win opportunities for students and area businesses," said SAAC President Jacob Moran. "As student-athletes, we are passionate about the Bloomington community and creating these meaningful relationship and partnerships takes that passion one step further."
Moran is the president of IU Athletics' Student Athlete Advisory Committee, which includes one student-leader representative from each of IU's varsity athletic programs. In addition to organizing this Summit SAAC works closely with the IU Athletics leadership team throughout the year to enhance the experience and to protect the welfare of IU's students who compete in intercollegiate athletics.
