Here's everything that happened this week at the NIL Store!
Hello, Iowa State!

This means officially licensed merch will be available to every Iowa State student-athlete in their own personalized locker rooms.
The reception from Iowa State fans was incredible, as more than 500 people followed the new Iowa State NIL Store instagram account in the first 24 hours!

Yesterday we came across an incredible study from Captiv8 Labs which found that athletes perform up to 12x better than general influencers on social media.
We've always known athletes were the ultimate influencers, but having the actual data to back it up confirmed it.
The study prompted a blog yesterday in which we talked about WHY athletes make the best influencers. Check it out!
