南加大招募 Matai Tagoa'i 接受部分 NIL 比特幣收益

隨著大學橄欖球接受透過無償付安排向球員支付報酬，這項運動現在正在開啟更多的歷史，因為南加州大學的一名新兵將接受他的部分無償收入的比特幣。

Four-star linebacker signee Matai Tagoa'i is set to accept part of his NIL earnings in Bitcoin, a first for a USC football recruit.

四星級線衛簽約人馬泰·塔戈伊 (Matai Tagoa'i) 將以比特幣形式接受其零收入的一部分，這對於南加州大學橄欖球新兵而言尚屬首次。

The deal was announced on Thursday and will see Tagoa'i partner with Strike, a Bitcoin app, to receive a portion of his forthcoming NIL payments in the cryptocurrency.

該交易於週四宣布，Tagoa'i 將與比特幣應用程式 Strike 合作，以加密貨幣形式接收他即將支付的 NIL 付款的一部分。

The deal was brokered by House of Victory, the NIL collective that is associated with USC, making Tagoa'i one of the first college football players to receive NIL money in the cryptocurrency.

該交易是由與南加州大學相關的 NIL 集體 House of Victory 促成的，這使得 Tagoa'i 成為第一批以加密貨幣形式獲得 NIL 資金的大學橄欖球運動員之一。

"This is a game-changer for me," Tagoa'i said in a statement. "By taking part of my NIL earnings in Bitcoin, I'm setting myself up for long-term financial growth. I'm grateful to Strike, House of Victory, and 3Point0 Labs for helping me take this step.

「這對我來說是一個遊戲規則改變者，」塔戈伊在一份聲明中說。 「透過將我的零收益的一部分換成比特幣，我為自己的長期財務成長做好了準備。我很感謝 Strike、House of Victory 和 3Point0 Labs 幫助我邁出了這一步。

"I'm proud to be a part of this innovative collaboration that's redefining the future of college athletics and finance, and hope to set an example for other young athletes to think about their financial future."

“我很自豪能夠成為這項創新合作的一部分，該合作正在重新定義大學體育和金融的未來，並希望為其他年輕運動員樹立榜樣，思考他們的財務未來。”

NIL collectives have taken on a direct role in how college football players are paid and are an important part of how teams are able to attract and retain players from year to year, whether coming in from high school or via the transfer portal.

NIL 集體在大學橄欖球運動員的薪酬方面發揮了直接作用，並且是球隊每年吸引和留住球員的重要組成部分，無論是來自高中還是通過轉會門戶。

"House of Victory is proud to be at the forefront of developments in the NIL space, and to provide unparalleled access and opportunities for our student-athletes," House of Victory executive director Spencer Harris said in a statement. "We're proud to help facilitate this arrangement for Matai and help him achieve his goals on and off the field."

「勝利之家很自豪能夠走在 NIL 領域發展的最前沿，並為我們的學生運動員提供無與倫比的機會和機會，」勝利之家執行董事斯賓塞·哈里斯在一份聲明中表示。 “我們很自豪能夠幫助促進馬泰的這一安排，並幫助他在場內和場外實現他的目標。”
