"Our student-athletes have seen tremendous success monetizing their Name, Image and Likeness over the last two years, but we’re always looking for new ways to provide them with the tools they need to maximize their earning potential," UofL Director of Athletics Josh Heird said in a news release. "The CARDS NIL Exchange is an exciting new feature that will make it easier than ever for Card Nation and our student-athletes to find each other and work together."
According to a news release, CARDS NIL Exchange is a free student-athlete NIL business registry for approved businesses, collectives, donors, alumni and anyone else interested in connecting with UofL student athletes.Â
