Friends of George launched in November 2022 with the support of the agency Student-Athlete NIL (SANIL), which powers NIL collectives that support athletes at schools such as Oklahoma, Penn State, Bryant and Rutgers, among others. "A lot of smaller schools are now saying, 'How do we create opportunities for our student-athletes? How do we start building an infrastructure that allows us to be competitive and to tap into our fan base and the business community?'" SANIL CEO and co-founder Jason Belzer told On3. The answer lies with the new George Washington-focused collective. Fans can sign up for a monthly subscription, with rates ranging from $10 to $500. There are six different levels, with each coming with its own set of perks. The collective also plans to launch NFTs in the near future.
