Miami's King, FSU's Milton launch NIL platform
Miami quarterback D'Eriq King and Florida State passer McKenzie Milton are looking to help other student-athletes capitalize off the NCAA's new interim name, image, and likeness policy.
The two signal-callers have founded Dreamfield, a platform that allows users to book student-athletes for events such as autograph sessions, meet and greets, photo shoots, and athletic camps.
"This is an opportunity for me to get my foot in the door to start being an entrepreneur, but this is also something that I'm passionate about, helping college athletes monetize off their name, image, and likeness," Milton told ESPN's Andrea Adelson.
He continued: "This should have been something going on for a while, but now it's here, and it's a cool opportunity."
Numerous college football stars, including King, Milton, Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral, and Indiana signal-caller Michael Penix, are available for booking on Dreamfield. Corral currently boasts the highest price at $10,000, while Milton and King each come in at $2,000.
Dreamfield will also operate in the NFT market, with Milton set to release a digital card Tuesday. The Florida State passer is believed to be the first college athlete to enter the NFT arena.
King's NFT debut is being planned for late July, according to Adelson.
The NCAA's Division I board approved an interim policy to allow student-athletes to profit off their name, image, and likeness beginning July 1.
