DAVIS, Calif. – UC Davis Athletics and INFLCR have strengthened their relationship ahead of the 2023-24 season, empowering student-athletes to improve their brands on social media in the pursuit of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities.
 
"We are thrilled to take our partnership with INFLCR to the next level, as we strive to empower UC Davis student-athletes by facilitating direct connections with our vibrant local and regional business community," said Director of Athletics Rocko DeLuca. "Leveraging the power of INFLCR, with 500 active Aggie student-athletes, we aim to elevate our NIL efforts, while complementing the very successful internship and career development initiatives offered through our Aggie EVO program." 
 
Free to both student-athletes and commercial enterprises, the UC Davis NIL Exchange provides a customized portal for communicating with student-athletes and fulfilling NIL transactions.
 
What Is The UC Davis NIL Exchange?
The UC Davis NIL Exchange is a student-athlete NIL business registry custom-designed for businesses, donors, alumni, and any other interested NIL dollars wishing to connect with student-athletes. Registered businesses can search, filter, and initiate conversations with student-athletes to discuss a NIL deal. Once the NIL deal between a registered business and a student-athlete is completed, the business will use the UC Davis NIL Exchange to create a transaction that will produce a direct payment to the student-athlete (without any transaction fee) and automate a disclosure to the INFLCR Compliance Ledger. The institution does not have to get involved in the deal, and all transactions within the local exchange are consolidated into one 1099 at the end of the year for more straightforward tax reporting purposes for registered businesses and athletes.
