In the brave new world of name, image and likeness sponsorships, a Texas A&M fan site has struck a deal to pay two Aggies football players $10,000 each for "exclusive feature interviews" ahead of SEC Media Days.
Running back Isaiah Spiller and safety Demani Richardson each will be featured on TexAgs.com as part of a deal with a local company, GreenPrint Real Estate Group.
The deal is one of the first announced that will pay players for media access, which is allowed since new NIL rules were instituted on July 1.
"We're excited about the ways the NIL changes will allow us to feature Texas A&M athletes, continue to push into new areas of content creation for our subscribers, and expand our work with sponsors," said Billy Liucci, co-owner and executive editor of TexAgs.
