Ohio State's NCAA runner-up Sammy Sasso (Photo/Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com)July 1st, 2021, marked a historic date in college athletics. As of that day, student-athletes were given the opportunity to capitalize on their name, image, and likeness (NIL). With this in place, collegiate athletes can seek out endorsements and profit off of their name. Since July 1st, InterMat has tracked wrestlers who have announced new partnerships that capitalize on their NIL and will continue to do so. Below is a list of wrestlers who have publicly announced their new deals. There are probably others which have not been publicized as of yet. Please let us know if there is anyone that needs to be added.

Spencer Lee (Iowa) - Barstool Athlete, Cameo, The Player's Truck (Shirts)

Below are the wrestlers who have been designated as "Barstool Athletes." This is a venture from the site Barstool Sports. At this time, no one is exactly sure what the label entails. It's safe to assume that these wrestlers will receive gear from Barstool to promote on social media and in their personal lives. Anything further that gear has not been made public by Barstool, as of yet. It appeared that this was not a long-term, well-thought-out project by Barstool, but something they built on the fly after July 1st. More will be posted about this project as it evolves.
