ABOUT THE 1923 SOCIETY COLLECTIVE
The 1923 Society is proud to be the first for-profit Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) collective supporting Wildcat football student-athletes.
Founded by a group of passionate and experienced operators, The 1923 Society is committed to helping Wildcat football student-athletes navigate and thrive in the rapidly evolving NIL landscape.
OUR BELIEF
Every student-athlete possesses immense value and potential, both on and off the field.
By unlocking the power of their Name, Image, and Likeness, we help student-athletes:
Build their personal brand
Create meaningful financial opportunities
Prepare for life beyond football
Through discipline, dedication, and excellence, these young men have already proven they can succeed. NIL allows them to extend that success into their future, positively impacting their families, their community, and generations to come.
MORE THAN ATHLETES
At The 1923 Society, we believe student-athletes are more than just players.
They are:
Entrepreneurs
Influencers
Community leaders
Our mission is to help them build sustainable brands, unlock their earning potential, and create meaningful partnerships with local and national businessesโwhile strengthening authentic engagement between players and fans in ways never done before.
A MESSAGE TO WILDCAT NATION
Wildcat fans are unlike any other.
We come from diverse backgrounds, but when we unite, we form one powerful, unstoppable community. The passion of Wildcat Nation is matched only by the talent and heart of the student-athletes who represent us.
WHY A FOR-PROFIT COLLECTIVE MATTERS
While NIL rights now exist, many HBCU communities have not fully capitalized on this opportunity.
We deeply respect and appreciate the work of existing non-profit initiatives supporting the university, athletic department, and student-athletes. Our goal is not to replace or diminish those efforts, but to complement and expand them.
Non-profit structures can face limitations in scale, flexibility, and reachโnot due to effort or intention, but due to legal and operational constraints. A for-profit NIL presence allows us to:
Move faster
Engage more businesses
Create broader opportunities
Generate sustainable impact
THE 1923 SOCIETY STANDARD
The 1923 Society is committed to becoming the gold standard in NIL collectives.
We believe success should be achieved:
With integrity
Through transparency
With a high moral compass
Our mission is to help build a future where excellence, accountability, and opportunity are the standardโnot the exception.

NIL: WHAT EVERY HBCU FAN NEEDS TO KNOW
Protecting Our Legacy. Investing in Our Future.
WHAT IS NIL?
NIL stands for Name, Image, and Likeness.
It allows our student-athletes to earn income legally for:
Community appearances
Brand partnerships
Youth camps & mentoring
Social media & promotions
NIL does NOT replace scholarships.
It gives our young men the opportunity to benefit from their hard workโjust like students at every other institution.
WHY NIL MATTERS AT HBCUs
HBCUs have always developed elite talentโ
now we must protect it.
NIL helps us keep our best players home
NIL reduces losses to the transfer portal
NIL ensures HBCUs compete on a level playing field
Weโve always had the talent.
NIL helps us keep it.
WHAT NIL IS โ AND IS NOT
โ
NIL IS
Legal and NCAA-approved
Transparent and compliant
Community-focused
Designed to uplift student-athletes
โ NIL IS NOT
Pay-for-play
University salaries
A violation of NCAA rules
HOW HBCU FANS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
At HBCUs, collective support is our strength.
$19.23/month โ Helps retain key contributors
$100/month โ Supports recruiting & player appearances
$250/month โ Builds roster stability and development
When the community shows up, our players stay.
WHY WE NEED YOU
Other programs are investing heavily in NIL.
If we donโt, our talent leaves.
Supporting NIL means:
Fewer transfers
Stronger recruiting classes
Protecting HBCU football excellence
This is the modern version of โlifting as we climb.โ
TRANSPARENCY & TRUST
Funds support approved NIL activities
Operations follow NCAA & conference guidelines
Supporters receive regular updates
Integrity. Accountability. Impact.
BOTTOM LINE
NIL isnโt pay-for-play โ itโs pay-to-protect our legacy.
Same pride.
Same culture.
New era.
