Basepath Inks NIL deal with Student Athletes for Ambassador Program

Schools represented include Notre Dame, Michigan State, Arkansas State and more

Grand Rapids, Michigan (July, 2023) - Basepath, the leading Name Image and Likeness (NIL) operations and finance software for collectives, universities, and student athletes is launching its Athlete Ambassador Program. Basepath’s platform enables athletes to maximize the potential of their personal brand by providing NIL deal management and financial support. The purpose of the ambassador program is to enhance the functionality of Basepath’s software through feedback from the athletes’ perspective.

The NIL deal involves athletes from a variety of conferences and sports, including University of Minnesota football wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell supported by the Dinkytown Athletics Collective, Michigan State University football wide receiver Tre Mosley supported by the SD4L Collective, heptathlete for the University of Notre Dame Jadin O’Brien, and Arkansas State University football tight end Emmanuel Stevenson, supported by Impackt Club. Basepath is actively expanding its athlete ambassador program, aiming to onboard a diverse and influential group of athletes who will further amplify the impact of the company’s NIL operations software and embrace the opportunities and benefits of managing their NIL rights.

The athlete ambassador program will empower selected athletes to be the voice of their peers, sharing their experiences, insights, and suggestions to help shape the future of Basepath's software offerings. As ambassadors, athletes will have access to development tools, cutting-edge features, and early testing opportunities. They will play a role in refining and improving the user experience for athletes across the country. In addition to their contributions to Basepath, athlete ambassadors will also be promoting and elevating their respective collectives.

O’Brien said, "as a Basepath athlete ambassador, I get to make NIL money and help Basepath update the app with features that will help my teammates get what they need out of it. Basepath has been so helpful to me throughout my NIL journey."

“Basepath has been nothing short of exceptional when it comes to making the app easily accessible and getting feedback from its users,” said Mosley.

Each athlete ambassador will be paid over $1,200 per year. Ambassadors will also have access to comprehensive training materials and ongoing support to ensure they understand their responsibilities and can effectively engage with their teammates. Athlete Ambassadors at Basepath serve as exemplary role models for their peers, showcasing the importance of collaboration, innovation, and responsible financial management.

"Our ambassadors have the opportunity to test our latest products such as Basepath Wallet,  providing feedback and guidance that helps us refine and improve our offerings,” said Basepath Co-Founder and CEO Thomas Thomas Jr. "They will receive access to our tools and experiences, allowing them to stay at the forefront of the newest developments in NIL.”

As Basepath representatives, athlete ambassadors take on the role of assisting their teammates with any questions, ensuring a seamless user experience. Their dedication to supporting their peers underscores their commitment to teamwork, collaboration, and helping their fellow athletes succeed. Ambassadors will collect feedback on Basepath's software, including app functionality, desired enhancements, technical issues, and overall satisfaction. A structured framework or questionnaire will guide the feedback collection process, and monthly meetings will provide an opportunity for ambassadors to share their insights directly with Basepath.
