McNeese State's Amir Khan Secures Over $100K in NIL Deals During NCAA Tournament

Amir 'Aura' Khan, the student manager for McNeese State's basketball team, has become a sensation during the NCAA tournament after going viral for leading the team onto the court while rapping with a boombox. He has secured between 10 to 12 NIL deals with various brands, including Buffalo Wild Wings, TickPick, and Topps, which will feature him on trading cards. Khan's manager, Reed Vial, estimates that his earnings from these deals are 'north of six figures' as the tournament progresses. The publicity from McNeese State's recent upset victory over Clemson has significantly boosted Khan's marketability, leading to an influx of sponsorship opportunities. Khan expressed gratitude for the support from the players and the unexpected success of his newfound fame. As the team prepares for its next matchup against Purdue, the potential for Khan's NIL deals to grow even further remains high.
