In first 19 months of NIL age, Texas A&M deals add up to $10 million
With the help of the 12th Man Foundation, Texas A&M ranks"probably top five to 10 in the country" in NIL payments for athletes, according to athletic director Ross Bjork.COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M athletes have either made or agreed to make nearly $10 million in name, image and likeness deals in the 19 months since the NCAA allowed athletes to benefit from NIL, Aggies athletic director Ross Bjork said.
Aggies in 1950 weren't looking seven decades into the future when they founded the Aggie Club separate from the university to help raise money for A&M athletics. But in the age of NIL, the concept works agreeably with NCAA and state mandates in streamlining donors providing money to athletes. While exact NIL numbers are not available from universities, Bjork said the $10 million at A&M puts the university among the nation’s elite in raising money for athletes.
“Every sport on campus will have a fund, and if a donor chooses to support women’s basketball, they can restrict that support to that specific sport,” he said. “We also have a general fund that they can make in an unrestricted capacity to support .”
