KOKOMO, Ind. - Indiana University Kokomo Athletics and Influxer have announced a partnership that will allow Cougar student-athletes the opportunity to monetize their name, image, and likeness (NIL) with personalized merchandise.

Founded in Dallas, Texas in 2022 with a mission to empower student-athletes and connect them with opportunities to thrive in the name, image and likeness market, Influxer currently works with more than 500 universities around the country by allowing student-athletes the opportunity to sell personalized merchandise with their school's official licensed branding.

Each of IU Kokomo's 200+ athletes have the opportunity to create their own webpage with individualized and exclusive merch for purchase, giving fans the chance to show their support. This is a one-of-a-kind way to rep the Cougars while backing your favorite players! 

"Influxer is thrilled to partner with the Cougars to provide NIL opportunities for all student-athletes," said Influxer Vice President Keith Miller. "Heather Hayes, Alexa Roberts and the athletic department have been intentional in not only focusing on the value NIL brings to the student-athlete experience but also recognizing the business experience and development it can bring to every student-athlete."

"We are thrilled to be teaming up with Influxer," said IU Kokomo Assistant Athletic Director of Operations Alexa Roberts. "The Influxer team makes it easy for our student-athletes to design and share their own merchandise. The NIL landscape has changed college athletics nationwide, and this partnership gives IU Kokomo athletes the tools to benefit from the hard work and dedication they put into their athletic careers."
