When social media talks about "aura," they are talking about McNeese State student manager Amir Khan. The internet sensation made NIL history when he became the first student manager to secure an NIL deal, and now he's the face of the Cowboys basketball program.

McNeese State enters the 2025 NCAA Tournament as a No. 12 seed and takes on the No. 5 seed Clemson Tigers at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island to kick off their March Madness campaign.

Of course, "Aura" Khan was front and center ahead of the tournament opener.

If the team can take down Clemson, Khan will be a legend all across the country.
