What is the Gators Made Exchange?

The Gators Made Exchange is a student-athlete NIL business registry, custom-designed for businesses, donors, alumni, and any other interested NIL dollars wishing to connect with University of Florida student athletes. Registered businesses can search, filter and initiate conversations with UF student-athletes to discuss an NIL deal. Once the NIL deal between a registered business and the University of Florida student-athlete is completed, the business will use the Gators Made Exchange to create a transaction that will produce a direct payment to the student-athlete (without any transaction fee) and automate a disclosure to the University of Florida INFLCR Verified Compliance Ledger. The University and its staff are not involved in the deal and all transactions within the local exchange are consolidated into one 1099 at the end of the year for easier tax reporting purposes for registered businesses and athletes.
