BIRMINGHAM – The UAB Department of Athletics and INFLCR, a Birmingham based company who is the leader in helping college athletes build their brand, have announced the program RISE, a dedicated resource to assist UAB student-athletes with Name, Image and Likeness.
RISE is a comprehensive Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) program built to provide UAB student-athletes with a robust offering of technology, education & tools to succeed in the NIL era. RISE is a partnership between the UAB Department of Athletics and INFLCR Verified & Plus to provide compliance reporting, content delivery, analytics & education to all Blazer athletes.
"UAB has long believed in empowering its student-athletes with content to be their own storytellers, and its athletics staff was one of the earliest adopters of INFLCR technology," said INFLCR founder and CEO Jim Cavale. "Located a mere two miles from our INFLCR office, we are thrilled to expand our partnership with UAB and have the INFLCR Verified and Plus technology features serve as an integral part of the department's "RISE" NIL program. Together, the UAB staff can be ensured they are equipped with the means to thoroughly establish, communicate and track all NIL regulations and transactions for their student-athletes. Through this partnership, the Blazer athletes are empowered with brand building, content delivery, analytics and education to grow their social following and market themselves successfully in the NIL era."
RISE has four main focuses to assist UAB student-athletes with name, image and likeness.
"Our long standing partnership with INFLCR has never been more important as we enter the era of Name, Image and Likeness," said UAB Director of Athletics Mark Ingram. "Jim Cavale and his company have done a tremendous job to equip our student-athletes with educational and tangible resources to assist them in their NIL journey."
UAB was the third school to sign with INFLCR back in 2017 as the two enter their fifth year as partners. Every student-athlete and coach at UAB has access to the INFLCR app.
About INFLCR Verified
INFLCR provides college athletic departments with the content delivery and compliance platform to assist NCAA athletics programs in the management and monitoring of student-athlete Name, Image, and Likeness activities. INFLCR's Verified suite of products ensures student-athletes are provided the tools, content, financial literacy, and more to participate in upcoming opportunities from NIL legislation.
Powered by flagship new products like the Compliance Exchange administrator dashboard and Storyteller Playbook video library, INFLCR Verified enhances the student-athlete experience by offering a comprehensive solution for responsible brand-building on social media, as well as a fully compliant path to external commercial activity from NIL.
Athletic programs are adopting this approach to educate and prepare staff and student-athletes for new opportunities and complexities from upcoming NIL legislation, aiming to ultimately provide best-case scenarios for student-athletes who will soon look to participate in monetization activities from their NIL.
About INFLCR Plus
INFLCR's NIL team assists college athletic departments in the implementation of content, compliance, and recruiting strategies to support athletics programs navigating new challenges and dynamics coming from eventual student-athlete Name, Image, and Likeness commercial activities. INFLCR's Plus offerings equip athletics staff with the software, assets, and guidance to maximize their messaging to potential recruits, while providing unique insights for current student-athletes looking to build their brands and benefit from future NIL opportunities.
As athletic departments launch custom NIL programs at their institutions, INFLCR's NIL team works to make each program unique while providing technology, resources, and support aimed at providing best-case scenarios for student-athletes who will soon look to participate in monetization activities or better market themselves for career opportunities from their NIL.
