We’re building our NIL program from the ground up.
Clemson is the first athletics program in the nation to construct a space dedicated to the development of NIL activity – the Clemson Athletics Branding institute. The institute provides an environment to educate students, incubate ideas, and serve as a launchpad for student-athlete opportunities. The CAB will feature:
- Photo studio
- video studios
- audio suite
- office space and
- a media training area
The new build houses more than 12,000 square feet. The building, presently under construction, is located adjacent to the Poe Indoor Football Complex.
The building came online in early 2023.
