Every Michigan student-athlete can capitalize on their name, image, and likeness (NIL) when they register with The Block.
We pay 100% of net proceeds to registered student-athletes.
About Us
The Block is a premier fan club established by a dozen past and present Michigan athletes, including Mike Morris, Zak Zinter, and Gabe Newburg. The Block leverages online ad revenue and unique fan experiences to raise funds that provide student-athletes with NCAA-compliant income opportunities.
Our Difference
The Block provides student-athletes with a variety of opportunities to capitalize on their name, image, and likeness (NIL). From creating paid content to collecting royalties from Digital Trading Cards (NFTs) there’s no shortage of ways for athletes to profit from NIL through The Block.
Our Mission
The Block exists to positively impact the lives of all current and future Michigan student-athletes. We are committed to building a club that benefits the fans, the athletes, and the University because together, we all win.
We want everyone to profit from their name, image, and likeness so we created The Block. A NIL Club that benefits ALL University of Michigan athletes.

I consider every single Michigan athlete to be my family, and I take care of my family. That’s what The Block is all about.
