KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – The Oregon Tech Athletics is pleased to announce they have partnered with Opendorse to launch the Oregon Tech Owls Athletics Marketplace, the department's official NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) market for student-athletes.

"Oregon Tech does not have the budget to create a NIL department or hire an additional person to handle student athlete NIL opportunities," said John Van Dyke, OIT Director of Athletics. "Opendorse is our NIL department – they help our student-athletes with NIL disclosures, profile pages and current contracts are available on our NIL page. Our athletes will receive valuable training on branding, current NIL legislation as well as tax prep information."

Oregon Tech is among over 100 programs nationwide to provide a single marketplace to send supporters to access student-athletes and offer compliant opportunities – the first Cascade Conference school and among a handful of NAIA schools to do so.

Now, Hustlin' Owl and Lady Owl fans, brands, sponsors, and donors can browse, book, pitch and pay any Oregon Tech student-athlete for NIL activities in one compliant platform, built specifically for the athletes' needs.
