ABOUT
Clemson is fully committed to supporting Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities that enhance the student-athlete experience while aligning with the University’s values of education, leadership, and personal growth. Through a coordinated NIL ecosystem, Clemson provides guidance, resources, and infrastructure that allow student-athletes to responsibly build their personal brands and engage in meaningful, compliant partnerships.
Business involvement is a critical component of this effort. Through a new Clemson Ventures initiative, business owners will have a structured opportunity to participate in NIL by investing marketing dollars into student-athlete partnerships. Leveraging Clemson Ventures’ talent management, content production, and compliance oversight, these partnerships are designed to deliver measurable business value while creating authentic, team-aligned NIL opportunities for Clemson student-athletes.
Those interested in engaging with Clemson’s NIL programs or learning more about the Clemson Ventures opportunity for business owners are encouraged to connect directly with the Clemson Ventures team or IPTAY leadership for next steps and customized engagement options.
