Wayne State athletics partners with Influxer to offer NIL opportunities to student athletes

Posted

A new exciting opportunity for Wayne State College student-athletes was shared in mid-January.

According to a release from Wayne State Athletics, a partnership has been signed with Influxer that will provide Wildcat student-athletes the opportunity to receive compensation for their name, image and likeness (NIL) by allowing fans to purchase high-quality personalized merchandise.

Director of Athletics Mike Powicki said, “we know, even at the Division II level, our student-athletes desire the opportunity to explore different NIL opportunities. We are excited to partner with Influxer to provide this platform for Wildcat student-athletes to explore this space and will continue to look for additional partnerships to support our student-athletes.”

Influxer has partnered with over 400 colleges and universities throughout the country to create an opportunity for student-athletes to benefit from their personal brand with high-quality, customized gear.

Influxer Vice-President Keith Miller added, “the NIL landscape is constantly evolving and working with Mike Powicki has been an amazing opportunity to see the vision they have for Wayne State providing great options through Influxer for their student-athletes. They see this as not simply a transactional opportunity but as an opportunity to develop long term skills for life.”

Influxer will offer education and training for student-athletes in key areas such as marketing, entrepreneurship and personal branding. Sales through Influxer benefit both the individual student-athlete and the Athletics Department through a mutual licensing agreement.
