Purdue Guard Sasha Stefanovic Pursuing NIL Opportunities Via Social Media
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — With the NCAA passing legislation to allow student-athletes to make money off their name, image and likeness on Wednesday, college players have wasted no time pursuing opportunities.
Purdue guard Sasha Stefanovic was one of those players. He said in a Tweet below that he was looking for local businesses to partner with him, aiming to reach audiences with his brand.
Any local businesses/companies/brands looking to do some business with me please reach out! Excited to work with some people and reach a bigger audience! 🚂

So far, there hasn't been any Boilermaker basketball player to announce a deal related to NIL. However, Purdue football offensive lineman Eric Miller partnered with a college sports newsletter called Extra Points. Miller will get paid to endorse and promote the newsletter.
As athletes continue to look for opportunities to profit from their name, image and likeness, more and more players will begin to announce partnerships.
