Chansky’s Notebook: The Erin Matson Deal

Posted Aug 2, 2024
Erin Matson’s first NIL deal was an awesome experience. In 2021, Marc Pons of Chapel Hill Tire said his young daughter was a big field hockey fan and asked if his company could do something – anything – with UNC All-American Erin Matson. "Maybe she would record some commercials for us?" he said. Fast forward and Matson became our first NIL partner. (Chapelboro.com)
