New company helps former Michigan, Michigan State athletes cash in on their memorabilia

A 1989 throwback uniform worn by Charles Matthews. Four pairs of Jordan shoes sported by Jon Teske. Jordan Poole’s locker room name plate from an NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game. A sideline chair from the 2018 Final Four signed by the entire Michigan team.

These are a few of the many items that have been put up for sale on The Players Trunk, a new company that was founded by former Michigan basketball players Zavier Simpson and Matthews and three team managers.

Since NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes from selling team-issued apparel while in school, the online marketplace provides former college athletes an opportunity to sell and profit on the athletic gear they received during their career.
