The Mesa Foundation was launched in October 2022 with a focus on the men’s and women’s basketball teams at San Diego State. Along with early deals many of the men’s basketball roster at SDSU, The Mesa Foundation also executed a teamwide NIL deal with the women’s basketball roster. “The Aztecs have been a staple in the San Diego community for decades,” the collective’ social media accounts said. “Mesa lets the community show their support by making contributions that impact the student-athletes directly.”
