HoosierPal Posted April 10 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted April 11 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Maybe the Blues or City SC can do it in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago 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 BuiltFordBills and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraz Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Do the Cardinals do this? Mozeliak won’t even spend on his roster so I doubt it RamJAMTIME likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
