About Us

Empowering Student-Athletes: Supporting Their Success On and Off the Field

Our mission is to empower student-athletes by providing the financial resources, opportunities, and support they need to thrive both on and off the field. Through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements, we ensure that every athlete is fairly compensated for their talent, hard work, and dedication. We are committed to fostering a culture that values education, personal growth, and athletic excellence, helping student-athletes achieve their goals during college and beyond. By advocating for their success, we aim to create a community where student-athletes can focus on what they do best—competing, learning, and preparing for their future.

Why is a NIL Program Important?

“It feels like now we can be recognized as people and not just athletes in a jersey. We really do have a lot more to offer.”

– Tyler Shough, Texas Tech QB

“(. . .) I see possible employment coming down the road, but that’s not the world we’re living in right now. And so, like I mentioned earlier, it is those NIL Collectives, those fan bases that decide, ‘Hey, while this is in play, in its current state, let’s be a leader in it.’ And until the university can take this over, this is really the only mechanism that’s out there. And it’s that way nationwide.”

– Brett Whiteside, Director of On To Victory (Auburn U Collective)

“We’re spending money, not as much as we spent in the NFL, but you know, we’re tossing around a little money and so I kind of enjoy seeing the players getting compensated for the arrangement that they’re going to be going into. And so it’s a new landscape in college football but not too different (. . .)”

– Bill Belichick, UNC Football Coach
