Michigan State's EverGreen named 'Best Institutional Program' at NIL Summit
Michigan State’s name, image and likeness (NIL) program, EverGreen, received the highest honors during Saturday’s NIL Summit hosted by INFLCR (pronounced “influencer”). It was named the Best Institutional Program during the award ceremony.
“This award recognizes an institution that has shown exceptional commitment to supporting its student-athletes in maximizing their NIL opportunities through a combo of education, resources and industry-leading innovation,” INFLCR said on Saturday via Twitter.
EverGreen was launched in June 2021 to help Michigan State’s student-athletes capitalize on their NIL opportunities. The program is centered around four pillars – brand, empower, educate and innovate.
INFLCR is a management app for student-athletes. In conjunction with Teamworks, INCFLR’s parent brand, the app was created to aid student-athletes with their NIL ventures. The platform provides access to brand management tools, analytics and educational resources.
