We kicked off the campaign at our NIL Open House, and the response was astounding. We witnessed the power of Aggie Nation in its full force. Thanks to the Aggie family, we've unlocked the incredible $300,000 match, and surpassed the new goal of raising $1.5 million!
Name, image, and likeness (NIL) support through our partnership with the Blue A Collective remains vital to enriching the student-athlete experience. The opportunity for Aggie student-athletes to serve their community while building their personal brand and professional network is invaluable for recruiting and retaining the next generation of Aggie greats.
