The Massachusetts Collective - Massachusetts Minutemen Collective

Patrick MacWilliams founded The Massachusetts Collective in October 2022 with a goal of signing three to five players on the men’s basketball team at UMass every season. However, the collective has also agreed to partnerships with members of the women's basketball team. MacWilliams owns a moving and storage company that agreed to NIL deals with two UMass men's basketball players and one men's hockey player on July 1, 2021, which was the first day of the NCAA's NIL era.
