Rhode to Excellence was launched in the fall of 2022 with a focus on providing Rhode Island fans and supporters with access to their favorite student-athletes through contributions and subscriptions. “Each membership level includes various exclusive benefits which allows the student-athletes to receive legal compensation for their NIL,” the collective’s website says. “Additionally, one-time donations to Rhode to Excellence will be dispersed to the student-athletes.” The collective’s website says it will work with all student-athletes at Rhode Island, but initially, it appears to be focused on the men’s basketball program.
