STORRS, CT – UConn Athletics, in partnership with Teamworks Influencer, has launched the UConn Huskies Exchange to expand Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for student-athletes. The collaboration continues UConn's investment in connecting Husky student-athletes with businesses, brands and fans, replacing the university's previous athlete marketplace partnership with Opendorse, which began in 2022.
Free to both student-athletes and external entities, the UConn Huskies Exchange provides a comprehensive portal for communicating and fulfilling NIL transactions. After registering with the UConn Huskies Exchange, prospective partners can access a database of available UConn student-athletes and search, filter and initiate conversations to discuss prospective NIL deals.
The UConn Huskies Exchange also includes integrated payment tools and tax reporting features, such as the automatic generation of 1099 forms within each student-athlete's Influencer account. Additionally, student-athletes have access to educational resources covering financial literacy, branding and social media growth.
Influencer allows student-athletes to self-disclose transactions, track earnings per opportunity, and view flagged payments that need attention. The platform is used by more than 270 collegiate and professional sports organizations across the country.
Influencer will also serve as a content hub for athletes to receive, download and post photos and videos to build their brand on social media.
The launch of the UConn Huskies Exchange reinforces the university's dedication to supporting student-athlete success both on and off the field, providing them with professional tools and resources to build their personal brands and generate income through NIL opportunities.
"UConn Athletics has built a forward-thinking NIL program that prioritizes education, compliance, and brand-building," said Teamworks Senior Account Executive Sean Kelly. " We're proud to power the UConn Huskies Exchange and help student-athletes unlock new NIL opportunities with the support of their local community and beyond."
