DRAGON FIRE COLLECTIVE
PHILADELPHIA (December 4, 2023) - The Drexel University Athletics Department announced the launch of Dragon Fire Collective, powered by Student Athlete NIL (SANIL), the official NIL Collective for Dragons Student-Athletes to leverage their Name, Image and Likeness opportunities.
SANIL is not officially affiliated with Drexel University Athletics, but is acknowledged by the department and will operate within the NCAA, the Coastal Athletic Association and the State of Pennsylvania's parameters to enhance opportunities for Drexel student-athletes.
"With the emergence of NIL, athletics programs are looking for ways to support student-athletes presence in the marketplace, particularly relative to their peers," said Director of Athletics Maisha Kelly. "Establishing a collective will give Drexel student-athletes direct access to a platform where business can be accomplished through private and corporate exchange of compensation and services. Student-athletes can serve as ambassadors of various brands while realizing financial gain for themselves."
Dragon Fire Collective, in conjunction with SANIL's Student Athlete Empowerment ("SAE") program, will facilitate NIL transactions between Drexel Student-Athletes and fans, donors and businesses. SANIL is the most experienced end-to-end NIL solution provider in the country and trusted by more than thirty universities to manage NIL programs between interested third parties and student-athletes.
SANIL's Student Athlete Empowerment and Dragon Fire Collective work in unison with various University supporters to create marketing activations that maximize student-athlete earnings while ensuring that the university's best interests remain protected throughout. Drexel joins a client roster that includes Oklahoma, Rutgers, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Wake Forest and Vanderbilt among others.
ABOUT Dragon Fire Collective
Dragon Fire Collective is the primary NIL Collective for all Drexel student-athletes to leverage their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities. Dragon Fire Collective allows businesses, donors and members to support and engage with their favorite Drexel teams and student-athletes, or contribute to a general fund that supports student-athletes across several Drexel sports. Student-athletes may engage in a variety of opportunities, including personal appearances, meet-and-greets, charitable work, speaking engagements or commercial sponsorship through the collective. As with all NIL entities, Dragon Fire Collective is independent from Drexel University, and the University does not receive any financial benefit from the organization.
