Washington Commanders Running Back/Western Colorado/Eaton High alum Austin Ekeler chats about his platform, Eksperience, which partnered with WCU to support Mountaineers’ NIL efforts.

Eksperience allows athletes to engage with fans in various ways, including video chats, gaming sessions, social media requests, video messages, and more.

WCU Deputy AD Greg Hinze: “If (the athletes) can reach out and engage a person in a community or a fan in a more personal way, then that results in that person coming to games and watching that student-athlete. Well, that’s a win for everybody, all the way around. To me, that’s what it’s all about.”

cllct Matt Liberman adds: “Athletes can focus on what they do best, Ekeler told cllct, being an athlete. Eksperience sets prices for athletes depending on a few different metrics, mainly based on popularity and on-field success. But if an athlete wants to change the price Eksperience evaluates, it’s no problem, Ekeler said, and the company takes a 20 percent marketing fee.” (link)
