Friends of Rocky - Toledo Rockets Collective

Launched in June 2022, Friends of the Rocky was the first collective at a MAC program. The Toledo Rockets-focused collective is a fan-driven, alumni-led supporter group aimed at raising money for NIL deals. Friends of the Rocky says it’s a crowdsourcing organization that collects money and doles it out to Toledo athletes via NIL deals while its partner Blueprint Sports seeks deals for individual Rocket players. Blueprint Sports gets 20% of the NIL deals it brokers for Toledo athletes and will help decide who gets what money from the Friends of Rocky program as well.
