Fans
This page includes specialized information for fans.
The past year and half or so has shown us that oftentimes, sports seem empty without fans, and die-hard fans would have nothing to cheer for if not for the crazy world of sports that we all know and love.
With that in mind, our product, Game Changer, is dedicated to providing fans with the important information in regards to how their favorite college athletes have been participating in the world of name, image, and likeness.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
How would fans benefit from receiving this information about NIL?
College sports fans who are invested in their team’s recruiting buzz might find it interesting to see the latest NIL deals a local five-star QB is considering. Legal compensation of NIL for college athletes is something that is still fresh in the world of sports, so the fan interest of new NIL deals for players is quite high at the moment. Sport publications know this as well, so reporting on the matter has gained a lot of traction in recent months.
Here’s an example on reporting of an NIL deal made by Texas Longhorns’ QB Casey Thompson back in mid-August.

Additionally, NIL news has shown it can have a direct effect on benefiting fans as well.
For example, this past August, the University of Texas announced it would be allowing it’s athletes to profit off of their name, image and likeness in combination with UT’s logo and trademarks. This would allow prominent Longhorn athletes to pair their name with UT apparel. Popular Longhorn football players, like running back Bijan Robinson, will now be allowed to have their names on the back of jerseys for fans to purchase. Die-hard fans will obviously have some major interest in news like this, as they will now be allowed to directly purchase the jersey of their favorite player as provided by the university.

Will our fan page serve a purpose for other interested parties as well?
Yes. While our fan section of the website has an obvious focus with fans in mind, we welcome anyone else to visit our site that might be interested in the topic of NIL. This might include, but is not limited to, sports writers, bloggers, sports agents.
