Elevating UTSA Men's Basketball
The Runners Rising Hoops initiative is a dynamic addition to the Runners Rising Project, dedicated to empowering UTSA student-athletes in marketing their own NIL(Name, Image, and Likeness). Specifically tailored for Men’s Basketball, this initiative aims to provide financial support and professional opportunities to our talented athletes.
This new membership program is specifically for fans passionate about our men’s basketball team, the Roadrunners! This tiered membership will offer unique access and engagement opportunities while providing vital NIL support for our student-athletes.
This program goes beyond just financial support. It fosters a deeper connection between fans and the team, creating a true community for Roadrunner supporters. Additionally, a majority portion of each membership fee will be directly allocated towards NIL deals for our men’s basketball players, allowing them to benefit from their hard work and dedication.
