OUR ATHLETES NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Help us ensure our athletes get everything they deserve.
Our goal is to compensate all student-athletes through leveraging their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) with advertisers from around the country. From the superstar quarterback to the freshman on the women's rowing team, we aim to boost team morale and serve the entire locker room.

FAQs
The Pride Collective is Texas A&M Commerce’s first NIL Collective and Bulldog Community that unites boosters, fans, alumni, and athletes in a way never seen before. Our team will provide Texas A&M Commerce fans and business partners with a safe, legal, and transparent platform to directly support the athletes they cheer on yearly.
The Pride Collective will support Texas A&M Commerce athletes in several ways. We will enter into Name-Image-Likeness Agreements (“NIL Agreements”) with Lion student-athletes and utilize those publicity rights by promoting the student-athlete on our website, social media, at The Pride Collective events, and in other ways.
We will build The Pride community through our Pride Collective Community Season Pass. This pass will provide access to the most engaged Lion fan community in the country, complete with unique content, the ability to connect with Lions across the country, submit and vote on proposals, and much more!
In addition, the Collective will partner with national and local Commerce businesses and assist in partnering Lion student-athletes with those organizations that best fit their goals as a Lion.
Finally, we are open to one-time and annual donations from anyone wishing to support Lion athletes! Contact us here for more information.
Yes! The mission of The Pride Collective is legally authorized by the Texas Intercollegiate Athletics Compensation Rights Act (effective July 1, 2021, amended April 18, 2022). Under this Act, individuals or entities acting independently or “collectively” may compensate a student-athlete for the license of their publicity rights. The Act prohibits regulatory bodies, such as the NCAA, from infringing upon the student-athlete’s right to receive NIL compensation. Finally, the Act bars the NCAA from penalizing Texas A&M Commerce University and its athletic programs for any activities it permits.
The Pride Collective is a Texas limited liability company in good standing.
No. Under the Texas Intercollegiate Athletics Compensation Rights Act, a NIL program must be a separate legal entity from a university – the Act prohibits universities from being parties to NIL Agreements with student-athletes. However, the Act explicitly allows communication between Texas A&M Commerce University and The Pride Collective. It expressly authorizes Texas A&M Commerce to facilitate engagement between student-athletes and The Pride Collective.
Whether you are a current Lion student, alumni, fan, or business, feel free to contact The Pride Collective directly and express your desire to assist. This is a family effort, and we need Lions across the world to be involved in carrying out the mission of The Pride Collective.
