Muskingum partners with Opendorse to launch NIL Marketplace for Muskie student-athletes

The Muskingum Athletic Department is excited to announce our partnership with Opendorse to launch a NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) Marketplace for Muskie student-athletes!

Opendorse is the leading athlete marketplace and NIL technology company. Their industry-leading NIL solutions help athletes and supporters understand, build, protect, and monetize their brand value. Student-athletes from all 25 Muskie teams will receive a profile, which can be customized and promoted on their social media channels while highlighting their interests and preferences for potential partnerships.

"This partnership showcases to our Muskies that we are 100% committed to the overall experience for our student-athletes within our department," said Muskingum Director of Athletics Kari Winters. "To be one of the early Division III institutions to sign on with Opendorse is a huge step as we consistently work to provide game-changing, state-of-the-art experiences for our young men and women. I am looking forward to watching our student-athletes market their profiles in relationship to Name, Image, and Likeness. What a tremendous tool to showcase growth in the area of entrepreneurship. We are extremely grateful for this commitment to Muskie Athletics!"
