SYRACUSE, NY — Syracuse University Athletics on Wednesday announced a multi-year sponsorship agreement with Hidden Level, a Syracuse-based company that provides an air traffic surveillance service.

The agreement will “benefit multiple areas of the Orange athletics programs and the JMA Wireless Dome fan experience,” Syracuse Athletics said in its Wednesday announcement.

This new policy allows all NCAA D1, D2, and D3 athletic students to be compensated for their NIL beginning July 1, 2021, whether or not their state has a NIL law,” according to NCSA’s website college recruiting. which bills itself as “the largest recruiting platform for college athletes.”

“Syracuse Athletics is proud to partner with such an innovative local company,” John Wildhack, director of athletics at Syracuse University, said in the university’s announcement. “Early on in our discussions, we recognized the potential that this partnership could take on many facets. We are grateful for Hidden Level’s commitment to our facilities and student-athletes through NIL. We are delighted to partner with such a dynamic company.”
