FSU collective The Battle's End singled out as one of 'most ambitious' in NIL space
Although it is among the newest on the national scene, Florida State-focused NIL collective The Battle’s End is now being recognized as one of the leaders in that space.
According to analysis from On3, The Battle’s End checks in at No. 6 on its list of the 20 “most ambitious” collectives in college sports entering Year 3 of the NIL era.
The Battle’s End announced its launch last December with a primary focus on retention for the Florida State football team entering the 2023 season. Within days of its launch, the group announced it has signed deals with quarterback Jordan Travis and several other high-profile players.

Ingram Smith, CEO of The Battle’s End, told On3 earlier this year that the organization has full funding for this year and next and that it has more than 60 FSU athletes under contract. The collective also is now accepting donations and selling merchandise through its official website.
“Florida State has been aggressive, they’ve come on really strong,” a source in the industry told On3.
Florida State has two other collectives working to service student-athletes as well. Rising Spear, which was the first FSU-focused NIL collective, works with more than 200 athletes in a wide spectrum of sports. Micconope 1851 also provides NIL opportunities and is launching a career resource center for FSU athletes and alumni.
Here’s the full report on the 20 most ambitious collectives in college sports, including more information about The Battle’s End.
