Traverse City Cadillac, MI, October 8, 2026 —

Lake Superior State University (LSSU) Athletics has established a new partnership with Influxer, a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) platform. This collaboration is designed to provide LSSU student-athletes with avenues to generate revenue through merchandise sales.

Under the terms of the agreement, student-athletes will be able to monetize opportunities related to officially licensed apparel. This includes earning royalties from the sale of merchandise that features their individual names and jersey numbers. The initiative aims to leverage the growing NIL landscape to support student-athletes financially.

The partnership with Influxer signifies LSSU Athletics’ commitment to equipping its student-athletes with tools and resources to capitalize on their personal brands within the evolving collegiate sports environment. This program will allow fans and supporters to directly contribute to student-athletes through the purchase of co-branded merchandise.

The details regarding the specific launch date of the merchandise program and the full scope of participating sports were not immediately available. However, the announcement signals a strategic step by LSSU Athletics to integrate NIL opportunities within its departmental operations.

Influxer is a platform that facilitates NIL deals, often focusing on apparel and merchandise monetization for athletes. By partnering with Influxer, LSSU Athletics is positioning itself to benefit from this model, allowing student-athletes to gain financial benefits from their identities and performances on the field and in the classroom.
