MTSU Opens NIL Online Store For Spring Sports Teams

MTSU Athletics launched the department’s NIL online store front for fall sports last October, and has now opened one concentrating on spring sports for 2023. The athletic department is being assisted by partners Image Apparel Solutions and the Athlete Licensing Company.

The fall store sold $25,000 in personalized merchandise over 10 days, which allowed 69 student-athletes to receive NIL payments for their branded apparel.

The store, allows for friends, family and fans of MTSU student-athletes to purchase licensed apparel and merchandise featuring players’ names, images and likeness, usually in the form of their name and number, with all student-athletes receiving royalties for each purchase featuring their NIL.

The store front features athletes from MTSU’s spring sports, as well as men’s and women’s basketball, and includes any athletes who opted-in to the IAS store. Supporters can also purchase team-specific apparel within the store.

It is open for a limited time, accepting orders until 11:59 p.m. CT on Feb. 19.
