In the ever-evolving world of college sports, Extra Points keeps finding new ways to shake things up. Their latest project, NIL Agency Tycoon 95, drops players right into the nitty-gritty of college athlete representation.
It’s a resource management game where you build your own agency, recruit athletes, negotiate deals, and run marketing campaigns. Alongside the game, Extra Points is also working on new ticketing solutions and expanding their educational resources for the college sports community.
Extra Points on the Road: Engaging with Journalism Students
Extra Points is doubling down on education and student outreach with upcoming campus visits. They’ll be in State College, PA on February 2 and 3, and at St. Bonaventure on February 16 and 17.
These trips are more than just lectures—they’re a chance to gather research for future stories, too. The team wants to connect with journalism students, share what they’ve learned, and maybe even spark some new ideas among the next wave of sports journalists.
Opportunities for Student Interaction
During these visits, Extra Points will speak to journalism classes and offer free Zoom sessions. There’s also the possibility of more in-person campus stops if travel expenses are covered.
They’re not asking for an honorarium—just a chance to talk shop and share what they’ve picked up along the way. It’s a pretty genuine attempt to support students and bring some real-world insight into classrooms.
Revolutionizing Collegiate Ticketing
Colleges are starting to realize how helpful it is to have one ticketing system that brings together data from sports, arts, and student events. Extra Points points out the need for a modern platform that ties it all together for marketing and finance teams, while making things smoother for fans.
Benefits of a Unified Ticketing System
Adopting a better ticketing platform can pay off in a few ways:
- Higher cart values with smarter add-ons
- Better retention through memberships
- Stronger cross-event engagement thanks to shared data
With unified ticketing data, schools can improve fan engagement and streamline operations. It just makes for a more connected, enjoyable experience all around.
Introducing NIL Agency Tycoon 95
The launch of NIL Agency Tycoon 95 is definitely one of the more interesting things Extra Points has done lately. This free game mixes realism, humor, and strategy, letting you build a college athlete representation empire from scratch.
You’ll pitch athletes, land marketing gigs, negotiate contracts, and manage your agency’s investments. The industry has its challenges, and the game doesn’t shy away from them.
Gameplay Mechanics and Future Updates
The game really leans into resource management and the quirks of the college sports industry. You have to balance athlete recruitment with smart marketing moves.
Extra Points plans to keep it free and roll out updates in the coming weeks, tweaking the game balance based on what players think. They’re aiming for something challenging, but still fun—no one wants a slog, right?
Potential for Expansion
If enough people get into it, Extra Points might add more graphics, sounds, and features. For now, they’re focused on supporting their current games—like Athletic Director Simulator 4000, Who’s That Football Team, and Stadium Concessions Simulator.
They want to make sure each game is solid before jumping into new projects. It’s a thoughtful approach, honestly.
Extra Points Classroom and Library
Extra Points isn’t just about games—they’re also beefing up their educational offerings with the Extra Points Classroom and Library. The library just added over 200 new documents, which is a ton of new material for students and educators.
These resources are meant to help people learn and get a deeper look into the college sports industry. It’s a handy toolkit, especially for those who want to dig into the details.
Supporting the Next Generation
Extra Points is serious about supporting students, not just through campus visits, but by creating comprehensive resources and tools. They want to empower students and educators to really understand how the sports industry works.
It’s clear they care about the future of sports journalism and management, and that shows in the work they’re putting in.
Looking Ahead
Extra Points keeps finding new ways to innovate and expand. Upcoming stories will cover college flag football, athletic department debt, and mid-major conference realignment.
If you’re following college sports, it’s probably worth keeping an eye out for what they do next.
