TOLEDO, Ohio - Toledo Athletics, in collaboration with Teamworks Influencer, announced the launch of the Toledo Rockets Exchange, a groundbreaking initiative designed to expand Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for Toledo student-athletes. This innovative platform will connect Rocket athletes with businesses, donors, alumni, and fans, providing a streamlined process to create impactful partnerships and empower student-athletes to maximize their NIL potential.

Toledo Athletics has been at the forefront of fostering a supportive environment for its student-athletes to thrive both on and off the field. The Toledo Rockets Exchange builds on this commitment by offering a custom-designed NIL business registry, where registered companies can search, filter, and connect directly with Toledo student-athletes to discuss and finalize NIL agreements.

Through the Toledo Rockets Exchange, businesses and supporters can easily initiate deals with student-athletes, creating transactions that directly compensate the athletes without any transaction fees. Additionally, the platform automates compliance disclosures, ensuring transparency and adherence to NCAA regulations.

"We are thrilled to partner with Teamworks Influencer to bring the Toledo Rockets Exchange to life," said Bryan B. Blair, Vice President and Director of Athletics at the University of Toledo. "This platform is a game-changer for our student-athletes, providing them with the tools and opportunities to build their personal brands and succeed in the evolving landscape of collegiate athletics. At Toledo, we are committed to putting our student-athletes first, and the Rocket Exchange is a testament to that commitment."

The Toledo Rockets Exchange is a central component of Toledo Athletics' comprehensive NIL strategy, integrating education, marketplace access, compliance, and personal branding resources into one seamless system.

"Toledo Athletics has built a forward-thinking NIL program that prioritizes education, compliance, and brand-building," said Teamworks Influencer Senior Account Executive Sean Kelly. "We're proud to power the Toledo Rockets Exchange and help student-athletes unlock new NIL opportunities with the support of their local community and beyond."

The Toledo Rockets Exchange is now live, offering businesses, alumni, and supporters the chance to connect with Toledo student-athletes and be part of their journey.
