College Station NIL Club goes live, gives fans opportunity to contribute to players

As of today, there is a new NIL collective available to Texas A&M fans. The College Station NIL Club, or CSNC, is a team-wide NIL initiative with the goal of directly supporting the current athletes in College Station.

Word of this collective began spreading on Thursday when a Aggie football players tweeted that big news was coming. As a result, Texas A&M fans have been eager to get involved.

There is a website solely dedicated to the CSNC, how it operates, and exactly what it is.

Here is the pitch from CSNC:

How does the College Station NIL Club (“CSNC”) work?

“The CSNC is a player-led fan community that benefits members of the Texas A&M football team. Through the College Station NIL Club, these members of the team provide fans with digital content and experiences such as digital meet-and-greets, player-recorded content, and much more throughout the year. The CSNC generates revenue through fans subscribing to the club. A monthly commitment of any amount allows fans to join the NIL Club and access CSNC-exclusive chat rooms, message boards, and content.”

How are athletes involved with the CSNC?

“Current Texas A&M Football players use their social platforms to promote CSNC and they participate in digital events such as meet-and-greets, Q&As, and interviews. The players also create and distribute exclusive content for club members. The players have teamed up with YOKE, a complete membership platform that provides business tools for athletes to launch a paywalled community, to ensure the digital experiences are executed properly. All players are invited to participate in the club and proceeds are split equally amongst the actively participating athletes.”

How can I join the CSNC?

“To join the CSNC, simply subscribe by making a monthly commitment to the club. Commit to what you can. You can receive a free jersey for committing at least $25 per month but any commitment grants you complete access to the online community and digital experiences with the team. Every dollar counts and every fan matters.”

Is there a minimum or maximum commitment amount allowed?

“Due to some of the fees associated with payment processing and website-hosting, the minimum commitment amount is $5 per month. We hope to get this even lower in the near future. There is no maximum commitment amount at this time.”
