UM’s D’Eriq King, other Hurricanes strike midnight deals as NIL compensation opens for college athletes

Miami Hurricanes quarterback D’Eriq King and Florida State’s McKenzie Milton will be rivals when they face off on Nov. 13 in Tallahassee’s Doak Campbell Stadium, but away from the gridiron, they’re business partners.

Just after midnight from Wednesday night to Thursday morning, as college athletes were cleared to begin profiting off their name, image and likeness (NIL), King and Milton signed on as co-founders of Dreamfield.

Their NIL-based platform will focus primarily on booking live events for student-athletes, such as autograph signings, meet-and-greets and speaking engagements, according to ESPN. King and Milton will be the public faces of Dreamfield and recruit other athletes to use the platform.
