Charlotte, NC – February 2025 – As March Madness grips the nation, Carolina high school athletes are excelling, bolstered by opportunities from Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. Concurrently, Marvin Wilson announces the "Business of Basketball," an elite high school tournament with LABCITY in Charlotte.  

Record-Breaking Participation in High School Sports

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) reports a record 208,722 student-athletes, with significant growth across sports, including nearly 30,000 basketball participants.  

March Madness Fever and NIL Opportunities

March Madness inspires Carolina high school athletes. NIL deals offer new opportunities, with an average value of $2,716 and total earnings reaching $21,331, allowing athletes to capitalize on their talents. Top basketball players are securing high-value endorsement deals with major brands, often reaching six-figure sums, especially for athletes with large social media followings. Additionally, the rise of NIL collectives and diverse revenue streams, such as partnerships with online gaming platforms, are further maximizing athletes' earning potential.  

Marvin Wilson's "Business of Basketball" Tournament

Marvin Wilson, founder of the Wisdom Foundation, introduces "Business of Basketball" in Charlotte, featuring two days of networking, competition, and entertainment. Wilson's ventures, including EZTixx and Funding Credit, underscore his impact on Charlotte’s business and entertainment scenes.  

Value of Business of Basketball Symposium

The "Business of Basketball" symposium is invaluable for student-athletes and parents in the age of NIL. Events like the NCAA Elite Student-Athlete Symposium have shown that such gatherings provide essential tools for navigating the transition to professional careers, including financial literacy, working with sports agents, and decision-making strategies. Additionally, the symposium offers networking opportunities with industry experts, former professional athletes, and NCAA staff, which are crucial for building a successful career in sports.
