Someone here predicted that NIL would be taken over by the AD and it now appears that is the case.

Roadrunners Family:
It has been an exciting first year for UTSA Athletics as a member of the American Athletic Conference. Entering this academic year, I challenged everyone from our coaches and staff to our student-athletes to our supporters to be bold in pursuit of our aspirations, and all of you have responded.
I write to you today to share a few important updates about our Name, Image and Likeness program at UTSA, which significantly impacts our student-athletes and our entire athletics community.
I am committed to providing each of our nearly 400 student-athletes the best tools possible to maximize their NIL opportunities. To position our student-athletes for success in the NIL space also means setting them up for success in their lives and careers beyond UTSA.
As an athletics department, we have created the Runners Go Bold Exchange through which businesses and individuals can connect directly with our student-athletes with opportunities to work together. Our partnership with INFLCR provides our student-athletes the ability to receive custom photo and video content to build their brands, as well as financial literacy and other educational opportunities. We recently launched Roadrunners NIL Shop, through which our athletes can sell their own branded merchandise.
I want to express my appreciation to the three NIL collectives who have become tremendous resources for our student-athletes – 210 Inspired, City Fans 210 and the Runners Rising Project. Their commitment to our student-athletes has created countless unique opportunities for them.
To contribute to student-athletes scholarships through the Roadrunner Athletic Fund or to support our student-athletes directly through NIL, please visit the following links:

Thank you to each of you for your continued commitment to UTSA Athletics and to our student-athletes. Your support makes all the difference in the futures of all of our Roadrunners.
Birds Up!
Lisa Campos, Ed.D.
Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics, UTSA
NT has mostly liberal arts majors that don't care about athletics or supporting it. We don't have wealthy doctors, lawyers, or engineers as graduates that can donate large $$ like many of the P5 schools have. Yet, here we are in the AAC with great athletic facilities.
We have a lot of athletic history playing upper level schools while not being in an upper level conference like the SWC. Yet, here we are in a conference with Rice, Army, Tulane, Memphis, and $mut...until they bought their way out. Still, it is surprising with such negative fans on our own quickly-fading fan board the school even sponsors athletics.
