HoosierPal Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Frank C mentioned this deal on his show, so I had to look it up. Along with 12 other college athletes, the Sox signed Avila to an NIL deal. Reading what is involved, this is a true a Name, Image, Likeness deal, and not a Pay For Play deal. Nice move by the White Sox. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/mlb/chicago-white-sox/robbie-avila-aka-cream-abdul-jabbar-signs-nil-deal-with-white-sox/3401555/ Athletes receive personalized mentorship, branding opportunities on White Sox platforms, financial incentives for social media promotion, and a ceremonial first pitch opportunity from the White Sox, among other benefits.

HoosierPal Posted April 11 Author Posted April 11 Here is a second likely NIL for Mr. Avila - surprise - GOGGLES. Obviously these deals go with the player whichever school he picks. But perhaps it takes the edge of the ultimate school NIL numbers. https://www.tmz.com/2024/03/31/college-hoops-star-robbie-avila-eyewear-nil-offers-viral-fame/ Quote
thetorch Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Cardinals are too cheap to sign any players to NIL deals. Avila though would be right up their alley. Really appeal to the fanbase. Quote
HoosierPal Posted April 29 Author Posted April 29 Avila reportedly has an NIL deal with Bommarito. Looking for deals with local food entities. Goggles deal coming. [This is what NIL is supposed to be, not here is some money, go play basketball.] https://www.ksdk.com/video/sports/local-sports/sports-plus/slus-robbie-avila-on-2024-season-billikens-schertz/63-fc2702cc-33b1-416a-8ef5-c2dbbbcb5082 MusicCityBilliken and BuiltFordBills 2 Quote

Adman Posted April 29 Posted April 29 2 hours ago, HoosierPal said: Not sure who is repping Imo's these days. Not sure anyone is repping them. But their ad agency is Paradowski in Webster Groves. Nichole Carpenter is PH's Director of Mktg. She used to be in charge of brand partnerships at Whole Foods. What about a brand partnership concept with Tatum and Avila? Quote
Fraz Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Do the Cardinals do this? Mozeliak won’t even spend on his roster so I doubt it RamJAMTIME 1 Quote
Macallan 18 Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Thankfully Avila is not a Cubs fan. That would be terrible. Bay Area Billiken, Box and Won and Lord Elrond 3 Quote
Lord Elrond Posted April 29 Posted April 29 One great thing about White Sox fans, Cubs fans are DEAD to them… Quote
