As most of you all already know the SC state law passed on July 1, 2022, has changed the game for our student-athletes at USC and we have hit the ground running. We as an athletic department have partnered with INFLCR and developed our very own Gamecock Exchange, a platform for businesses to connect with our student-athletes for all things NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness). This user-friendly platform gives businesses the ability to access everyone of our student-athletes across all sports and you can easily execute a deal with payment right from your phone. With nearly 40 local companies already signed up for the exchange we are growing, and our student-athletes are reaping the benefit, closing close to 90 deals from 9/1-10/1. We are encouraging all local and national businesses to signup through our Gamecock Exchange and put our student-athletes to work by helping you promote and market your businesses. There is no fee to signup and is very easy to get registered. All funds sent to the athletes go directly to the athletes through direct deposit with INFLCR or the athletic department collect zero fees. ALL THE MONEY GOES DIRECTLY TO OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES!

I encourage all to signup and support our student-athletes by using their NIL to help you market and promote your business. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me for assistance signing up or if you have any questions along the way. As a former student-athlete and graduate from the University of South Carolina and current Gamecock Club member, I know how important our Gamecock Club members to our University and Athletic Department. Let’s continue to allow our student-athletes to flourish on and off the field by supporting them!
