Indiana State basketball star Robbie Avila turned heads during the season, earning the nickname “Cream Abdul-Jabbar,” and the Chicago White Sox have now signed him to an NIL (name-image-likeness) deal.
Avila, who averaged 17.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game for the Sycamores this season, was one of 13 athletes in all signed to the CHISOX Athlete program this week, with the team revealing their new roster on Thursday.
The Sycamores barley missed out on the NCAA tournament this season, but Avila became well-known for his iconic goggles and his strong play on the court as he helped lead the team to a 32-6 record on the season.
