Louisville basketball fans staking big money on recruits through innovative NIL platform

Posted Feb 6, 2025
Imagine staking $100 on a top high school recruit to commit and play for your favorite college team. If they do, they get all the money. But if that player goes elsewhere, you get your investment back in full. Now stop imagining, because that's a reality thanks to the new NIL fundraising platform Fanstake. Millions of dollars have been staked by fans. (WDRB)
