HUNTSVILLE, Ala. | Alabama A&M University Athletics is pleased to announce its partnerships with INFLCR Local Exchange and INFLUXER, services that will complement the department's NIL program initiatives with resources in assisting Bulldog student-athletes to leverage their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL).
"Alabama A&M Athletics is thrilled to embark on a pioneering journey with INFLCR and INFLUXER NIL Platforms," Alabama A&M Director of Athletics, Dr. Paul A. Bryant, said. "This strategic partnership underscores our commitment to empowering our student-athletes with unprecedented NIL opportunities. By joining forces with INFLCR and INFLUXER, we're not just embracing the future of collegiate athletics; we're ensuring our athletes have the tools and resources they need to thrive both on and off the field. Together, we're not just shaping the game; we're shaping futures."
A free service for both student-athletes and businesses, a business can register on these platforms and have access to a searchable database of student-athletes with the ability to filter that database through a variety of criteria. Each business that is compliant with Alabama A&M's Athletics NIL guidelines can message the student-athlete directly in the application or request contact information to begin discussions about any potential NIL transaction.
By adding these resources, Alabama A&M student-athletes will be able to create business connections, streamline payments and reporting processes, consolidate tax information and create appropriate separation between the University and each student-athlete's pursuit of NIL opportunities, all within the INFLCR and INFLUXER apps. In addition, AAMU will provide student-athletes with education on NIL issues, while also tracking social media engagement and growth.
