SC State announces Bulldog Exchange NIL platform

ORANGEBURG, S.C. – South Carolina State University Athletics, in partnership with INFLCR, is pleased to announce the launch of the SC State Bulldogs Exchange, a platform that will complement the department's NIL program and help Bulldog student-athletes maximize their Name, Image and Likeness opportunities.
 
 The SC State Bulldogs Exchange is a custom-designed platform for local and national businesses to connect and engage directly with Bulldog student-athletes for NIL opportunities. Companies can find out information and register for the SC State Bulldog Exchange at www.scsuathletics.com.
 
 "The new S.C. State Bulldogs Exchange will greatly enhance and streamline the process of connecting businesses with student-athletes in Orangeburg and the surrounding area," South Carolina State Vice President of Athletics Dr. Nathan Cochran said. "We are excited to continue to provide our student-athletes with excellent resources to maximize their NIL opportunities and build their brand while representing South Carolina State's growing national brand."
 
A free service for both student-athletes and businesses, a business can register on the SC State Bulldogs Exchange and have access to a searchable database of student-athletes with the ability to filter that database through a variety of criteria. Each business that is compliant with SC State's Athletics NIL guidelines can message the student-athlete directly in the application or request contact information to begin discussions about any potential NIL transaction.
 
"We're excited to provide the technology for SC State Bulldog student-athletes to grow their NIL business and maximize their wallet share while doing it," said INFLCR Founder Jim Cavale. "With the SC State Bulldogs Exchange, the Bulldogs and AD Dr. Nathan Cochran are staying ahead of the curve as NIL continues to evolve."
 
By adding this resource, SC State student-athletes will be able to create business connections, streamline payments and reporting processes, consolidate tax information and create appropriate separation between the University and each student-athlete's pursuit of NIL opportunities, all within the INFLCR app. The SC State Bulldogs Exchange will also provide student-athletes with education on NIL issues, while also tracking social media engagement and growth.
