Players Era NIL Tourney to Add Women’s Basketball in 2025

December 16, 2024

Players Era Festival, the weeklong Las Vegas basketball tournament that paid out more than $9 million in NIL (name, image, and likeness) money to participating players, is expanding to women’s basketball.

It announced that in 2025 it will put on a four-team women’s round-robin tournament featuring No. 1 UCLA, No. 3 South Carolina, No. 6 Texas, and No. 9 Duke. In addition to competing against some of the best teams on the court, each team will receive $1 million in guaranteed NIL opportunities off it. FOS
