It's a place where the Austin Peay community comes together, connecting student-athletes with businesses, alumni and supporters committed to investing in their success.
"As the NIL landscape continues to evolve, we're committed to providing our student-athletes and partners with the resources they need to succeed," said Austin Peay Director of Athletics Jordan Harmon. "As Clarksville's Hometown Team, we have a responsibility to invest in our community and create meaningful connections. The Stacheville Exchange brings our student-athletes and local businesses together in a way that benefits everyone while strengthening the Governors' place in Clarksville."
Available to every Austin Peay student-athlete, the Stacheville Exchange simplifies the NIL process by bringing athlete profiles, communication, deal management and compliance together in one place. Businesses can register at no cost to explore partnership opportunities with Governors student-athletes, while athletes gain access to tools designed to help them grow their personal brands and maximize NIL opportunities.
