The Boilermaker Alliance is a team that helps Purdue student-athletes like Zach Edey with the process of earning money through NIL. Since Edey can’t be paid in the US, he’s working with three charities in Canada, where he uses his name and popularity for various activities, promotions, and awareness events that contribute to their causes.

“If you can make it bigger than basketball, you should. So you want to really use your platform that you build from athletics to further your community, that’s really what Boilermaker Alliance is all about. Make it possible and fund it and they really help you do all these things,” Edey said on Boilermaker Alliance NIL Deal.
