EXPOSURE EVENTS
Hosting, sponsoring, or funding exposure events can be highly beneficial for athletes, as it provides them with opportunities to showcase their skills and potentially attract attention from scouts, coaches, and talent evaluators. By organizing these events in Oklahoma, ROK aims to create awareness and promote the talents of local athletes within the state. However, the ultimate goal is to extend this exposure nationwide, reaching a broader audience and potentially opening doors for athletes to access next-level opportunities beyond Oklahoma.
These exposure events can take various forms, such as sports tournaments, showcases, combines, or camps. They provide a platform for athletes to demonstrate their abilities and compete against other talented individuals. This exposure can increase their chances of being noticed by college recruiters, professional team scouts, or other talent evaluators who may be in attendance.
By actively seeking to host, sponsor, or partially fund these events, ROK is investing in the development and recognition of Oklahoma athletes. Not only does this benefit the athletes themselves, but it also contributes to the overall growth and reputation of Oklahoma's sports community.

NIL DEALS
NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals have revolutionized the landscape of college athletics by allowing athletes to monetize their personal brand and capitalize on their name, image, and likeness. ROK recognizes the significance of these opportunities and understands the mutual benefits that can arise from partnering with athletes through NIL deals. By collaborating with athletes, ROK can leverage their popularity, influence, and fanbase to enhance brand visibility and reach a broader audience. Athletes, on the other hand, can benefit from financial compensation, endorsement opportunities, and the ability to build their personal brand beyond their athletic pursuits.
Partnering with athletes through NIL deals enables ROK to tap into the athletes' dedicated following and passionate fanbase. This association can drive brand awareness, generate increased consumer engagement, and establish a positive brand image. Athletes, on the other hand, gain the advantage of additional income streams and the ability to cultivate their personal brand alongside their athletic careers. They can endorse products or services that align with their values and interests, further solidifying their personal brand and increasing their marketability.
Through NIL deals, ROK and athletes can form mutually beneficial partnerships that unlock new avenues for success. These collaborations provide athletes with financial opportunities and the chance to develop their personal brand, while ROK gains valuable brand exposure and credibility through their association with popular and influential athletes.
