The Clarkson University Athletics Department is excited to announce they have partnered with Opendorse to launch the Clarkson University Golden Knights NIL Marketplace, the department's official NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) market for our student-athletes.

"By partnering with Opendorse we give our student athletes the opportunity to use their Name Image and Likeness for their benefit and allows us to remain competitive in the ever changing landscape of college athletics" said Laurel Kane, Clarkson's Athletic Director.

Visit the marketplace here: Clarkson University Golden Knights NIL Marketplace for NIL opportunities.  

Clarkson University is among 95+ programs nationwide to provide a single marketplace to send supporters to access student-athletes and offer compliant opportunities and the first Liberty League school to do so.  Now, Golden Knights fans, alumni, sponsors, and donors can browse, book, pitch and pay any Clarkson student-athlete for NIL activities in one compliant platform, built specifically for the athletes' needs.
