LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Spalding Athletics has partnered with Opendorse to support Golden Eagle student-athletes in Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). The Lincoln, Nebraska company specializes in NIL deals through an app that helps staff and student-athletes with content and educational tools to develop NIL connections.

Spalding University is the first St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference school to partner with Opendorse.
​
Athletics Director Brian Clinard said, "We are excited about our partnership with Opendorse and the opportunities it presents for our student-athletes. Our partnership with Opendorse will provide an opportunity for all Spalding student-athletes to explore entrepreneurship and extend their education outside the classroom while navigating the ever-evolving world of NIL on a safe and compliant platform." 

Through this partnership with Opendorse, Spalding Athletics will launch an NIL marketplace where brands, supporters, and fans can contact student-athletes to secure NIL opportunities. 

Utilizing the Golden Eagles marketplace, every student-athlete will receive an Opendorse profile, which they can customize however they'd like. This allows student-athletes to promote themselves to fans and brands on a secure personal social media platform. The app is simple to use, as student-athletes will receive a notification where they can accept and choose their opportunities. 

Opendorse is a very experienced company with over 75,000 deals with student-athletes nationwide. They help fans, donors, sponsors, and brands to directly support, connect, and maximize NIL success for student-athletes
