RIPON, Wisconsin – The Ripon College Athletic Department has partnered with Opendorse to create the Ripon Athletics Marketplace, the school's official Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) platform.

The Red Hawks are one of a handful of Division III schools currently using Opendorse for NIL activities. Ripon is the first school in the Midwest Conference to have an official NIL marketplace.
 
"As NIL continues to expand across all divisions, I am happy to announce that our student-athletes can use our Opendorse marketplace to connect with local and regional businesses," said Ripon College Director of Athletics Chris Schumacher.
 
This partnership provides Ripon student-athletes with full access to the company's all-in-one NIL platform, giving student-athletes support and guidance in name, image and likeness compliance, content and education.
 
"An accessible marketplace is the front door to a program's NIL success," said Opendorse CEO Blake Lawrence. "We're thrilled to partner with Ripon College and look forward to maximizing NIL opportunities for its student-athletes."
 
Ripon receives a branded marketplace where Red Hawk fans and supporters can browse, book, pitch and pay any Ripon student-athlete for NIL activities in one compliant platform.
