Our growing success is founded on four principles that drive us forward, empower athletes and help shape their success. As we celebrate this milestone, we recommit to our mission, ensuring every athlete benefits from our platform.
From Illinois to Everywhere
Originating at the University of Illinois, our journey began with the Illinois NIL Store, generating $100,000 for the men's basketball team in the 2021-22 season. Mark Cuban's investment propelled us forward, with a commitment to inclusivity for all athletes. Today, we've expanded exponentially, driven by a passionate team of former athletes, coaches, and administrators dedicated to the welfare of student-athletes.
Endorsed By Industry Leaders

While the best names in college sports will get taken care of by endorsements and high profile contracts, there are thousands of other student athletes that need help. Campus Ink's solution is going to change that.
