HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The South Main Collective has announced a partnership with the innovative supply chain optimization platform, Freightro, Inc. to benefit Rice University athletes through NIL opportunities.
When Rice’s business sponsors and fans utilize the Freightro platform to optimize their commercial shipping needs, Freightro will contribute a portion of the proceeds to South Main Collective to grow the NIL fund for Rice University athletes. Additionally, Freightro will select three Rice athletes to utilize in the company’s advertising efforts to shippers and brokers via social media.
“This partnership is at the core of NIL with college athletes and businesses bringing value to each other, and it is well-aligned to benefit Rice athletes,” said South Main’s GM, Bobby Bramhall. “Freightro Founder, Matt Costello, played baseball at the highest levels collegiate and professionally. He understands NIL and the value college athletes bring to his company, their institutions, and their futures, on and off the field.”
