Local Business Strikes Another NIL Deal with Danville Native
October, 2023
Danville, KY - Amidst the gloomy weather and cheery Centre alumni returning to Danville for homecoming weekend, The 1926 Collective announced another NIL deal signing. Local businesses, Finn's Ice Cream and Centre Field Lofts, partnered with Centre College softball player Regan Brownley. The deal was facilitated by The 1926 Collective, marking another exciting step in the NIL era at Centre College.
Regan Brownley, hailing from Danville, KY, is not just an exceptional athlete debuting her college career this spring, but also a promising student hoping to major in finance and economics. Teaming up Brownley with local businesses in Danville matches perfectly with her career ambitions, which is the heart of this partnership.
Finn's Ice Cream, a local ice cream shop situated just outside Centre College's campus, is a sweet escape for students and families alike.
Centre Field Lofts, another local gem, provides accommodation options ideal for Centre students looking for a staycation and their families coming to visit. The proximity of Centre Field Lofts to the college makes it a prime choice for those looking to be close to the heart of the campus and Danville.
Brownley, who is a freshman athlete, expressed her enthusiasm for this NIL opportunity, stating, "I'm thrilled to be partnering with Finn's Ice Cream and Centre Field Lofts. I plan to study the type of entrepreneurial businesses that Finn’s and Centre Loft Apartments represent."
Finn's Ice Cream and Centre Field Lofts are excited to support Brownley in her academic and athletic endeavors while she proudly represents their brands.
The 1926 Collective, a nonprofit entity connecting Centre College women athletes with local businesses for NIL deals, has played a pivotal role in making this partnership a reality. Its mission is to empower female student-athletes and foster positive collaborations between the local business community and the Centre College sports scene.
This new collaboration showcases the innovative and community-driven spirit that NIL deals are bringing to college sports. As student-athletes like Regan Brownley leverage their name, image, and likeness, local businesses can further solidify their connection with the student population.
