SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Cal Poly Athletics, in partnership with Teamworks Influencer, has launched the RideHigh Exchange to expand Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for student-athletes. The collaboration continues Cal Poly's investment in connecting Mustang student-athletes with businesses, brands and fans.
Free to both student-athletes and external entities, the RideHigh Exchange provides a comprehensive portal for communicating and fulfilling NIL transactions. After registering with the RideHigh Exchange, prospective partners can access a database of available Cal Poly student-athletes and search, filter and initiate conversations to discuss prospective NIL deals.
The RideHigh Exchange also includes integrated payment tools and tax reporting features, such as the automatic generation of 1099 forms within each student-athlete's Influencer account. Additionally, student-athletes have access to educational resources covering financial literacy, branding and social media growth.
Influencer allows student-athletes to self-disclose transactions, track earnings per opportunity, and view flagged payments that need attention. The platform is used by more than 270 collegiate and professional sports organizations across the country.
Influencer will also serve as a content hub for athletes to receive, download and post photos and videos to build their brand on social media.
The launch of the RideHigh Exchange reinforces the university's dedication to supporting student-athlete success both on and off the field, providing them with professional tools and resources to build their personal brands and generate income through NIL opportunities.
