On July 1, 2021, the NCAA announced that college athletes will have the opportunity to benefit from their name, image and likeness, often referred to as NIL. OU is prepared to put powerful resources behind the new opportunities that await student-athletes as it pertains to name, image and likeness. Learn more below about NIL in OU Athletics, current resources available to
student-athletes and how donors play a role in this historic era.
OU has created a student-athlete NIL educational program that will help student-athletes navigate through subjects such as financial literacy, brand building, money management and other complex issues related to NIL.
OU has partnered with INFLCR, a national leader in NIL programming and monitoring. INFLCR will serve OU's Foundry Program, specifically designed for NIL, with monitoring and media support systems while also complementing the education program.
Sooner Club members provide valuable resources for nearly 600 student-athletes. Originally formed to offset educational expenses for student-athletes, the Sooner Club has transformed into providing a world-class experience for everyone who wears the crimson and cream. Education and life skills programs, like The Foundry, are supported by generous contributions from Sooner Club members – specifically those who invest in the Inspiring Champions Fund as student-athlete experience is a key pillar of the
fund’s purpose.
