NCAA agrees to deal to promote championship events and could lead to NIL money for athletes
Playfly will sell local sponsorship packages around NCAA championships, and the new revenue could help cover tournament costs and support student-athlete benefits.
The NCAA has made a deal with Playfly Sports to boost marketing around championship events and potentially allow NIL money for student-athletes.
Playfly will hire staff to collaborate with NCAA officials in selling sponsorships to local businesses to promote championships and enable athlete endorsements.
Revenue from this deal will fund NCAA tournament costs and personnel, with leftover funds enhancing student-athlete experiences or aiding member schools.
NCAA President Charlie Baker praised Playfly's efforts and results during the 2024 asset valuation process.
