Trying to navigate NIL has been difficult for college athletes, universities and businesses who want to get involved. Beyond just trying to understand what NIL is, each state has implemented different regulations on how each of those parties can work together to provide opportunities for college athletes. One business, Triumph NIL, is expanding their efforts to help streamline the NIL process for college athletes, universities, businesses and charities.

Who is Triumph NIL?

Triumph, a NIL sports marketing agency, develops custom partnerships for collegiate athletes with different businesses and charities, in an effort to reach fans and supporters in meaningful way. The group specializes in building business relationships that meet all NCAA compliance and State legal criteria. To learn more about Triumph’s role in building NIL partnerships at the university level, check out my last article, where I cover Triumph’s work with one Virginia Tech group.

What does Triumph’s roster look like?

Triumph currently has 65 athletes that they represent across 11 different Virginia Tech sports programs. Eight of the 65 athletes are female athletes who represent Women’s Soccer, Softball, and Women’s Basketball. To learn more about all of the athletes that Triumph represents, you can look here.

How is Triumph’s roster expanding?

32 Virginia Tech football players signed NIL agreements with Triumph last fall and the Triumph NIL roster of football players is going to expand again, as 13 more football players have recently signed up with Triumph. The players joining the roster are:

  • Derrick Canteen

With these new athletes and the other Triumph athletes, as part of their representation agreement, Triumph will arrange opportunities for college athletes leverage their NIL rights through a variety of personal appearances, content development programs, social media posts and live events.
