NIL FloorburnU Collective - Southern Illinois Salukis Collective

Southern Illinois has a strong history in men’s basketball with 15 trips to the NCAA Tournament and double-digit Missouri Valley Conference championships. The Salukis also have a strong tradition of playing a defensive brand of basketball that helped them develop the “Floorburn U” nickname. Now that moniker is being applied to the world of name, image and likeness with the launch of NIL FloorburnU on Monday. NIL FloorburnU is a collective dedicated to supporting Southern Illinois student-athletes, and school leaders are throwing their full support behind the group’s efforts.
