Friends of Nova - Villanova Wildcats Collective

In mid-October 2022, just weeks before the first basketball games of the 2022-23 season, Friends of Nova launched to support Villanova athletes' NIL opportunities. Friends of Nova is powered by Blueprint Sports. Friends of Nova's website says it's fan-driven and alumni-led. "When you commit to Friends of Nova, you're committing to maximizing opportunities for student-athletes to build their brand and earn compensation," the website states. The website says that charitable donations made through the BPS Foundation will be tax-deductible. While Friends of Nova's original Twitter bio said the collective connects the Villanova men's basketball team with NIL opportunities, Co-Executive Director Randy Foye told On3 the collective will help any athlete at the school.
