南加州大学招募 Matai Tagoa'i 接受部分 NIL 比特币收益

随着大学橄榄球接受通过无偿付安排向球员支付报酬，这项运动现在正在开启更多的历史，因为南加州大学的一名新兵将接受他的部分无偿收入的比特币。

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.

四星级线卫签约人马泰·塔戈伊 (Matai Tagoa'i) 将以比特币形式接受其零收入的一部分，这对于南加州大学橄榄球新兵而言尚属首次。

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.

该交易于周四宣布，Tagoa'i 将与比特币应用程序 Strike 合作，以加密货币形式接收他即将支付的 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.

该交易是由与南加州大学相关的 NIL 集体 House of Victory 促成的，这使得 Tagoa'i 成为第一批以加密货币形式获得 NIL 资金的大学橄榄球运动员之一。

"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.

“这对我来说是一个改变游戏规则的事情，”塔戈伊在一份声明中说。 “通过将我的零收益的一部分换成比特币，我为自己的长期财务增长做好了准备。我很感谢 Strike、House of Victory 和 3Point0 Labs 帮助我迈出了这一步。

"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."

“我很自豪能够成为这项创新合作的一部分，该合作正在重新定义大学体育和金融的未来，并希望为其他年轻运动员树立榜样，思考他们的财务未来。”

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 集体在大学橄榄球运动员的薪酬方面发挥了直接作用，并且是球队每年吸引和留住球员的重要组成部分，无论是来自高中还是通过转会门户。

"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."

“胜利之家很自豪能够走在 NIL 领域发展的最前沿，并为我们的学生运动员提供无与伦比的机会和机会，”胜利之家执行董事斯宾塞·哈里斯在一份声明中表示。 “我们很自豪能够帮助促进马泰的这一安排，并帮助他在场内和场外实现他的目标。”
