Supporting Kentucky’s players in name, image, and likeness (NIL) just got much easier. Athlete Advantage just launched The 15 Club, Kentucky’s new NIL collective. Fans will be able to contribute and engage with Wildcats in over 25 varsity sports through one-time donations or monthly memberships. Contributions open access to special events, fan experiences, merchandise, and marketing opportunities with student-athletes, which, in turn, allows those athletes to be compensated for their name, image, and likeness.

There are various membership levels starting at $25/month. Fans can also make a one-time donation. Ninety percent of the net proceeds will be paid directly to the student-athletes.
