For just $10, University of Minnesota basketball player Parker Fox will sell you a personalized video shout-out. He has started endorsing local businesses on his Instagram. The 6-foot-8 power forward is even making deals with campus restaurants to promote his name — the "Parker Fox loaded tater tots" will soon be on the menu at Sally's Saloon.

Fox said he has raked in nearly $10,000 since July through more than a dozen such deals. The Gophers men's basketball player is among several dozen student athletes at the U who have cashed in on their brand since the NCAA began allowing college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness (NIL).

"It's helped my personal savings a lot," said Parker, who has a bachelor's degree in sports marketing and is now pursuing a master's in sports management. "One day the basketball is going to stop bouncing and I've got to have a little money in my bank account."

that's better than the work-study deal I had at Augsburg where I worked in the Sports Information Office to earn part of my scholarship. Yes - I helped pay for college by keeping football and basketball stats.

Good for him - that’s a lot of ten Buck shout outs

Good for Fox. That number will grow when he’s healthy, kid is destined to be a fan favorite

I think it's cool. Especially nowadays where some college-aged people can make bank of off stuff like Twitch, Youtube, Only Fans, etc. seems silly to not let athletes leverage their own brands.

Interesting. I've heard so little about it, I wondered if the whole thing was kind of a bust. But if an injured MN player is making $10K, imagine what Kentucky players are raking in...
