DEAL ACCEPTED: Indiana Hoosiers Women’s Basketball Guard Sydney Parrish Signs NIL Deal Worth $800K

Bloomington, IN — July 7, 2025

Indiana Hoosiers star guard Sydney Parrish has inked a new Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal reportedly worth $800,000, solidifying her status as one of the top earners in women’s college basketball.

Parrish, a senior and key figure in Indiana’s recent rise to national prominence, has been a consistent contributor on both ends of the floor. Known for her sharp shooting, leadership, and defensive intensity, Parrish’s brand appeal has grown significantly over the past two seasons—making her a prime candidate for high-profile endorsement opportunities.

While the specific brand or brands behind the deal have yet to be publicly disclosed, sources close to the program say the agreement includes a combination of social media promotion, branded merchandise, and community engagement initiatives.

“I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity,” Parrish said in a statement. “Being able to represent Indiana both on and off the court means everything to me. This deal helps pave the way for not just my future, but also for the growth of women’s sports.”

The deal marks one of the largest NIL contracts in Indiana women’s basketball history and is reflective of the growing investment in female collegiate athletes nationwide.

Head coach Teri Moren praised the development: “Sydney embodies what it means to be a Hoosier—tough, team-first, and driven. This is a win not just for her, but for our program and the broader landscape of women’s basketball.”

Parrish is expected to return for her final season, where she will play a central role in Indiana’s bid for a Big Ten title and a deep NCAA tournament run.
