Buccaneer student-athletes, coaches, and staff to benefit from leading NIL platform provider

The East Tennessee State Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced a new partnership with INFLCR (pronounced influencer) to provide ETSU student-athletes the best platform to assist them in their name, image and likeness (NIL) experience. Using tools provided by INFLCR, ETSU student-athletes will learn the processes of maximizing their NIL potential, while maintaining NCAA compliance. 

“This is an exciting time for ETSU Athletics and for our student-athletes,” said ETSU Athletic Director Scott Carter. “We are excited about the opportunity to provide our student-athletes and coaches with INFLCR in order to promote our mission of providing our student-athletes the resources they need to be excellent both on and off the field. INFLCR will allow us to protect our student-athletes while also giving them the tools they need to maximize NIL opportunities and build their brands.” 

INFLCR is a content-creation platform that assists ETSU student-athletes in the monetization and dissemination of photos, videos and graphics. INFLCR also educates student-athletes in areas related to personal marketing and branding. 

All Buccaneer sports teams will use INFLCR including: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s track and field, triathlon and volleyball. 

"We're delighted to serve all East Tennessee State student-athletes in their brand building and NIL strategy," said INFLCR CEO Jim Cavale. "Every ETSU student-athlete will now be able to use their INFLCR app to tell their stories while also taking advantage of the Verified product features, including learning how to activate their NIL through the content provided in the Storyteller Playbook and then discovery of countless NIL opportunities listed in the digital marketplaces of the INFLCR Exchange. ETSU’s staff will also now have a technological solution providing visibility into student-athlete transactions being reported automatically to ensure safety and compliance."
