BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell University Athletics, in conjunction with INFLCR, has announced the launch of the Fighting Camels Exchange to expand its ongoing Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) program for student-athletes. The Fighting Camels Exchange is the latest innovation to help Campbell student-athletes maximize NIL opportunities.
This streamlined, easy-to-navigate platform is a free service to both student-athletes and third parties. It serves as a directory and customized portal to connect businesses, collectives, donors, alumni and fans with student-athletes to explore, negotiate and enter into NIL transactions.
"The launch of the Fighting Camels Exchange along with our expanded partnership with INFLCR creates even more opportunities for Campbell student-athletes to build their individual brands and fully utilize their NIL potential in today's ever-evolving landscape," said CU acting director of athletics
Hannah Bazemore. "We are excited for our student-athletes to capitalize on this exceptional program's direction and support."
The Fighting Camels Exchange is a custom-designed student-athlete NIL registry for businesses, collectives, donors, alumni, fans and others wishing to connect specifically with student-athletes at Campbell. After a business, collective, or individual registers on the Fighting Camels Exchange they can access a searchable database of CU student-athletes, and filter that database through a variety of criteria. They can message the student-athlete directly in the application or request the student-athlete's contact information (or that of their representative) to start a discussion about an NIL transaction. INFLCR and Campbell will not be involved in any of the negotiations.
Once an NIL agreement is reached, a customized reporting form, that is compliant with Campbell's Name, Image and Likeness guidelines, is generated and forwarded to the institution. The platform also includes a payment processing tool to securely pay the student-athletes and will be consolidated into a 1099 form that lives in the student-athlete's INFLCR app for more efficient tax reporting.
Businesses, collectives or individuals can register now at GoCamels.com/FCExchange. Campbell will opt-in all student-athletes, who may opt out if they choose not to participate.
"It's an exciting time in collegiate athletics due to NIL, and now Campbell student-athletes will have a full suite of INFLCR resources to fully take advantage of it," said INFLCR Founder Jim Cavale. "Campbell's Fighting Camels Exchange is a piece of their partnership with Teamworks Elite, where they'll be set up for operational success through Teamworks and INFLCR software. The Exchange will enhance the way Campbell student-athletes interact with their supporters."
