Campus Ink

This week our very own Steven Farag sat down with Jabari Young from ForbesBLK at Nasdaq to announce Campus Ink's recent $2M raise, discuss the best advice he’s received from Mark Cuban, and chat all things NIL ahead of March Madness 🏀. This insightful conversation dives into how Steven (our fearless CEO) started out as a student selling t-shirts and how this new round of funding will fuel the expansion of our NIL Store brand so we can support more universities, students and athletes amid the evolving landscape of college athletics.

They are our “boots on the ground” on campus, and a major part of our success. This is a fantastic opportunity for a student to break into sports and the world of NIL. If you know a talented & creative student at one of the following schools who loves sports and social media, have them shoot me a message! And yes, we pay!

Today is a special day for college athletes. We celebrate the three year anniversary of #NIL. We figured we’d try something a little different. Instead of offering fans a discount, we’re going to boost payouts to athletes today. Should athletes make even more during special moments? Absolutely. 👀💯 🎉 🤙

To celebrate #NILDay, all NIL Store athletes will receive an extra 10% on each of their apparel sales. Here’s why ⬇️ Today, July 1, marks the third year since collegiate athletes could be legally compensated for their name, image and likeness (NIL). And while it’s only been three years, our NIL apparel solution (https://nil.store) has taken massive strides to cement itself as THE NIL apparel solution for college athletes. It’s due to our unwavering commitment to putting athletes first in everything we do. That means paying them more on sales than anyone in the industry, finding new and creative ways to increase their brand potential, and opening opportunities for every athlete whether they are a worldwide superstar or a walk-on. Today’s extra 10% is another intentional step towards our mission of keeping athletes at the forefront. In less than three years, we’ve paid out more than $1 million to more than 10,000 athletes nationwide. We’re incredibly proud of where we’ve been, and further, our appetite for shifting the NIL landscape on behalf of athletes has only grown stronger. If you see an athlete, be sure to wish them a happy #NILDay! #nil #nilstore #nilnews #nilupdates #nameimagelikeness #campusink #nilapparel #nilmerch #niljerseys
