Creighton has reportedly been tabbed as the eighth and final team to compete in the NCAA men's college basketball Players Era NIL tournament during the 2024-25 season.

According to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, Creighton had been scheduled to be part of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, but the organizers of the new NIL tourney will buy the Bluejays out of their contract.

Norlander and Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports reported earlier this week that the inaugural Players Era NIL tournament will be played during Thanksgiving week in Las Vegas later this year with $1 million in NIL (name, image and likeness) payouts on the line.
