Roos Excellence Collective - Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos Collective

The Roos Excellence Collective, known as R.E.C., was launched in April 2023 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization supporting Missouri-Kansas City student-athletes. According to a press release from the school’s athletic department, the R.E.C. has full support from school officials and will focus on multiple sports. “Kansas City Athletics continues to prioritize holistic support for our student-athletes, including their desired NIL opportunities,” Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Dr. Brandon Martin said when it was launched. “The Roos Excellence Collective represents another resource and tool for our student-athletes to access, which is important in an ever-changing landscape of college athletics.” R.E.C. aims to create opportunities for in-person engagements in the community such as meet-and-greets and charity efforts. The R.E.C. will also assist in facilitating youth sports programs throughout Kansas City, speaking engagements and corporate advertising campaigns.
