JUST IN: Nebraska Superstar Alexis Markowski Signs Historic $50 Million Deal with Microsoft, Donates $30 Million to Community
In a groundbreaking moment for college athletics, Nebraska basketball sensation Alexis Markowski has inked a monumental $50 million endorsement deal with tech giant Microsoft. The deal, one of the largest ever secured by a college athlete, marks a new chapter in the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era and sets a precedent for future partnerships between major corporations and rising sports stars.
Markowski, a dominant force on the court and a beloved figure in Nebraska sports, has not only made history with her business acumen but also with her extraordinary generosity. In a move that stunned fans and inspired a wave of admiration, she has pledged $20 million of her endorsement earnings to the University of Nebraska’s athletic program. The donation will reportedly go toward facility upgrades, scholarships, and resources aimed at supporting women’s sports across the university.
But the 6-foot-3 star center didn’t stop there.
In an emotional statement released earlier today, Markowski also announced a $10 million donation to a local orphanage in Lincoln, Nebraska—a cause close to her heart. The funds are expected to improve living conditions, expand educational opportunities, and provide access to mental health support for children in need.
“This is bigger than basketball,” Markowski said. “I’ve been incredibly blessed with opportunities, and I want to make sure I’m lifting others up with me. Nebraska has given me so much—this is my way of giving back.”
The remaining $20 million from her Microsoft deal is expected to fund various personal and philanthropic projects, with insiders hinting that she may be launching a foundation aimed at empowering young female athletes and underserved youth across the Midwest.
Microsoft, known for aligning with innovative and community-driven figures, praised Markowski as “a model of leadership, integrity, and vision for the future.” The tech corporation hinted at future collaborations involving education, sports technology, and community engagement initiatives.
Markowski’s rise to fame has been nothing short of remarkable. A standout player since her freshman year, she has led the Cornhuskers with her relentless work ethic, on-court dominance, and team-first mentality. Her latest moves only add to her growing legacy as a trailblazer—not just in women’s basketball, but in the broader landscape of college sports and social impact.
As fans and analysts alike celebrate the historic moment, one thing is clear: Alexis Markowski is redefining what it means to be a student-athlete—and leaving an indelible mark both on and off the court.
