Name, Image, and Likeness has changed the college sports landscape over the last few years. Creating an awesome earning opportunity for players, while making life sometimes more difficult and complicated for the coaches and the schools.
Texas A&M has been considered to be at the forefront of the NIL landscape, largely due to the active alumni base that is world renowned.
On Wendesday, the 12th Man Foundation, a group with roots dating back over 70 years supporting Aggie Athletics, announced the formation of an NIL initiative they have dubbed the “12th Man+ Fund”.
12th Man+ Fund was established to further the 12th Man Foundation’s mission while enhancing the student-athlete experience at Texas A&M through name, image and likeness (NIL) opportunities.
12th Man+ is a new avenue of support through the 12th Man Foundation designed to compensate student-athletes for promoting the organization through charitable marketing services.
According to the foundation, donors will have the opportunity to donate to specific sports, or to contribute to a general fund which will be distributed to all sports.
This initiative from the 12th Man Foundation is certain to be the next step in A&M’s path to leading the way on taking care of their student athletes through NIL.
We are excited to announce the launch of the 12th Man+ Fund, a new avenue of support aimed to further our mission while enhancing the #TAMU student-athlete experience.
