Bayou Traditions - LSU Tigers Collective

In an unprecedented move in the college sports space, the Tiger Athletic Foundation created a new subsidiary, TAF Services Corporation (TAFSC), which entered a paid services agreement with the LSU-driven NIL collective Bayou Traditions in July 2024. Through the agreement, TAFSC provides fundraising services for the official LSU athletes collective. According to a release from Tiger Athletic Foundation, the partnership between TAFSC and Bayou Traditions comes after consultation from LSU compliance, donors and key stakeholders. Notably, donors will now be able to receive priority points through the Tiger Athletic Foundation. LSU boosters can now log in to their Tiger Athletic Foundation/LSU ticket account and contribute directly to Bayou Traditions.
