Clark Atlanta University has announced its partnership with MOGL, the leading athlete marketplace and operations software provider in the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) arena per a statement secured by HBCU Pulse. This collaboration positions Clark Atlanta as the latest HBCU athletics department to capitalize on the evolving NIL landscape, joining peers like Howard University, Hampton University, and North Carolina A&T, which have launched NIL Collectives within the past year.

Utilizing MOGL Monetize, athletes now have access to NIL deals, integrated digital agency services, compliance solutions, and educational tools essential for navigating this new territory.
