There are very important reasons why Kansas alumni, boosters and fans should care deeply about NIL:
- Kansas Basketball is a global brand. These student-athletes are ambassadors for the University and their success matters greatly. This is a wonderful opportunity to reward these players for their hard work and provide well deserved benefits for the brands they have created.
- The rules have changed, and every program is now racing to establish opportunities for their athletes. With open transfer rules and conference realignment, the competitive landscape is intense. Kansas Basketball players need to know that their market opportunities will be supported by our vast Jayhawk network of resources, and they can stay at Kansas for the entirety of their college career.
- NIL opportunities are very much an important factor for the nation’s top basketball recruits and players. For Kansas Basketball to remain competitive, it’s important that players and recruits considering the program know that they will be able to maximize the value of their brand when comparing against other basketball programs
So what are we doing to ensure that Kansas Basketball is leading the nation in this space?
- 6th Man Strategies is a consulting agency that has partnered with every individual student-athlete for Kansas Men’s Basketball. We are a group led by Kansas Alumni plus strategic partners to bring multiple opportunities to our players so that they can monetizer their individual and collective brands.
- The most unique opportunity we are presenting is the 100 Club. This exclusive group of 100 supporters and fans has each committed to donate $1,000 per month to a fund that is used for NIL opportunities for our players. Our goal with this $1.2 million-dollar annual fund is to supersede what every other college program is doing nationally in NIL opportunities and ensure Kansas Basketball has the resources to remain competitive.
