TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University athletics department is proud to be launching sport directories to showcase Tiger student-athletes for Name, Image and likeness (NIL) inquiries.
 
Those seeking to do NIL deals with Towson student-athletes can look at the sport directories of each team, showcasing the players and their social media.  Each directory will link social media handles and websites for all student-athletes on the team.  All directories will be accessible through Towsontigers.com.
 
"This is an important step as we look to assist our student-athletes in the NIL era," said Towson director of athletics Steve Eigenbrot. "NIL is an important part of the future of collegiate athletics, and these directories will allow our student-athletes to earn new opportunities in the community and the marketplace.  I thank Terry Porter and Dave Vatz for their ongoing work with this project."
 
"We are in unprecedented times; when challenged with uncertainty, Towson remains focused on a "Students First" approach," said Towson associate athletic director of compliance services Terry Porter.  "By focusing on the student-athlete, we saw a tremendous opportunity in promoting our student-athletes and their respective brands."
 
Towson has launched the NIL directories for the Tiger men's and women's basketball teams and will be launching other teams in the future as the 2022-23 academic year continues on.
 
Towson continues to add more resources to assist in NIL initiatives.  Towson is a partner with INFLCR plus all student-athletes have access to real-time multimedia content from TU communications and digital teams to share on their personal social media channels.
