Designing the First Platform for College Athletes

Sports is a universal culture that brings people together.

The Olympics. The Superbowl. The World Cup. The World Series. The NBA Finals. March Madness. Wimbledon. The U.S Open.

There’s something special about the thrill of competition, nationalism, and seeing the peak of applied human performance. Sports provide entertainment, purpose, joy, and more.

Athletes work incredibly hard to compete and serve the fans, and those that make it professionally are rightfully compensated.

But up until recently, not all professionals were getting the compensation they were due.

And no, we are not talking about the grumpy person on the bench during crunch time. We are talking about NCAA College athletes.

College Sports are a huge part of American culture. March Madness and the College Football Playoffs alone rival some of the largest sporting events in the country. In fact, many sports fans prefer college sports for one reason or another.

These athletes bring in billions of revenue for their universities and they are often local celebrities with influence and impact. Some of these college athletes are far more popular than their professional counterparts. But they were not legally allowed to monetize their brands or likeness due to NCAA restrictions.

This deprived countless athletes of opportunities that could have dramatically impacted their career.

Thankfully as of July 2021, for the first time in history, college athletes will be allowed to monetize their name, image, and likeness.

The MOGL team saw this and built the platform they always wish existed. They founded MOGL to create the first platform to allow college athletes to monetize their name image and likeness.

The company was founded by two passionate sports lovers — Ayden and Brandon. Ayden had a background in Investment Banking and Private Equity. Brandon was the former starting QB for Notre Dame and also has a background in Accounting.

They reached out to us to create product that would make that possible. We designed their web product and their marketing website.
