College athletes in Montana are being offered cash to make endorsement videos for Sen. Jon Tester as he campaigns for one of the Democrats' most vulnerable seats of the 2024 cycle, according to emails shared with Fox News Digital.
A group called "Montana Together" recently sourced athletes at the University of Montana (UMT), offering payments in exchange for the promotion of Tester, according to the school's athletic director, Kent Haslam.
In July, the initial contact was made on behalf of "Montana Together" through a representative at Opendorce.com, a platform used as a marketplace for athletes to score Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. NIL is a policy approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 2021 that allows college athletes to monetize their content.

Editor's Notes:
The Montana Sentinel reached out to Lily Meskers (@lilymeskers1) for any additional comments.
The Tester campaign's denial of any knowledge of these acts is similar to their denial of payments made to voters on reservations in 2006. The image below provides two examples of those payments.
