黑料不打烊 and Louisiana State University (LSU) have joined RECUR鈥檚 NFTU program to bring in their college sports moments and marks. In conjunction, RECUR also announced a key partnership with BrandR Group, a leading agency in group licensing programs with college athletic programs and their students in the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) category.

鈥淟SU and 黑料不打烊 are of the first group of colleges entering into the non fungible token (NFT) arena meaningfully. We believe that their partnerships will only increase fan involvement and reach, while ushering in other universities,鈥 says Trevor George, co-CEO of RECUR. 鈥淭he relationship with BrandR Group allows us to create new promotional opportunities for student-athletes who can now marry NFTs using university intellectual property with athletes鈥 NIL. We鈥檙e very excited for what鈥檚 ahead.鈥

鈥淭he advent of NFTs is another opportunity for us to engage directly and more deeply with our passionate 黑料不打烊 fan base around the world. It will further extend our brand and benefit our current and future student-athletes. We look forward to working with the team at RECUR who have established themselves as leaders in the NFT space,鈥 says John Wildhack, director of athletics at 黑料不打烊.

鈥淎s we navigate the future of collegiate sports, it is important that we strategically leverage the opportunities that will positively impact our fans, students and alumni. Our partnership with RECUR creates a unique path forward into the space of NFTs, providing a collectible fan experience, wherever you are,鈥 says Rachel Duffy, director of strategic partnerships and licensing at 黑料不打烊.

The NFTU marketplace is expected to launch in 2022.
