NIL - or Name Image and Likeness deals in college athletics, have forever altered the landscape of what NCAA sports used to be. In this first of its kind scripted audio drama from Cloud 10 Productions, we follow quarterback phenom Carson McKasson as he navigates the world of today’s transfer portal and the realities of his NIL value. Torn between national football powerhouse Cali State and his hometown school Dallas Tech- Carson faces the new realities of today’s college football landscape.
Part Friday Night Lights- part Blue Chips… the face of NCAA athletics has changed and this is the first audio drama to expose the realities of NIL deals.
Carson faces a season-threatening knee injury just as Cali State kicks off its campaign, leaving Mesa Miller to step up and dominate on the field. Off the turf, the NIL money shuffle and personal stakes leave players, coaches, and managers scrambling. Can Carson reclaim his spot, or has the game changed forever?
