A South Florida-based company is looking to rock the college football world in favor of the Miami Hurricanes through college sports’ new legislation regarding athlete name, image and likeness, which allows NCAA athletes to profit off endorsements.
Every University of Miami scholarship football player will be offered a $6,000-per-year endorsement deal by American Top Team, one of the nation’s top training academies for MMA fighters which has 44 licensed gyms — many of which are in South Florida, including its main academy in Coconut Creek.
Each of the Hurricanes’ 90 current scholarship players will be offered this $500-a-month contract ($6,000 for a year) to endorse American Top Team through their social media accounts, personal appearances and other marketing vehicles.
