ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Illinois State student-athletes have gained an important resource in their pursuit of opportunities related to name, image and likeness (NIL), as the Missouri Valley Conference has entered into a multi-year partnership with industry-leading content and compliance software company INFLCR that will provide all MVC institutions with the tools and technology necessary to support their student-athletes’ NIL opportunities.

The three-tier platform will provide educational resources, brand-building techniques and a disclosure technology platform required in many states for each of the league’s member schools. The new agreement will also provide the Conference’s student-athletes with NIL education, tools, and technology as it relates to new opportunities and complexities from upcoming NIL legislation.  

The 2021 Illinois State Athletics Percy Family Hall of Fame class – was officially announced Thursday, as Stafford Davis (football), two-time All-American and four-time all-conference selection; Andi Hardwick (volleyball), 1996 MVC Player of the Year and three-time all-conference pick; Todd Schroeder (baseball), two-time all-conference performer and school single-season record holder; Sade Sealy (track and field), three-time MVC Most Outstanding Track Athlete and 11-time MVC individual champion; and Rachel Tejada (soccer), four-time MVC Player of the Year and school record holder, will each become members of the Illinois State Athletics Percy Family Hall of Fame.

In addition to the 2021 Hall of Fame class, Dan Roan, a 1976 graduate of Illinois State and longtime sports director at WGN-TV in Chicago, will be honored with the Institutional Great Award. The honor recognizes an Illinois State alumnus who has achieved significant personal and professional accomplishments in sports at the professional or collegiate levels.
