SIUC has launched a NIL (Name Image Likeness) portal for SIUC athletes call the Pride of Little Egypt. Near as I can tell, and I have not paid for access, your $8.99 a month helps support various athletes at SIUC and also allows further access to making offers to them for such things as personal appearances, shout outs on social media, autographs, etc. This is quite different from similar portals I have seen in that those are open to the public with no payment required to enter the portal. The only payment required is that made directly to the athlete.
Maybe there is more to it, but I have no desire to pay the $8.99 to find out.
Quite right. Another SIUC rip-off and again boosting athletics rather than education that is in dire straits inside the University.
