I’m all for legit NIL. College kids should be able to profit off of the money they generate. The blatant pay for play is what I can’t stand but I’m not sure if it’s ever going back.
Wrestling NIL collective is now open called Cardinal & Gold Collective
- Thread starter buf87
- Start date
Buff will the site eventually have NIL gear we can purchase, like an online store? That way the wrestlers could put up their merchandise to sale. I don’t know if that’s even possible just think that would be another cool way for them to get some NIL.
The site is going to be great once it gets tweaked and more mobile friendly! LFG!!!

OK, seriously need some help with this. My 2023 wrestling support dollars have already gone to the RTC. Going forward, the program would rather have funds going to the new collective? Split with CRTC? Personally, I’m much more interested in recruiting & retention for ISU rather than post-college freestyle competition. Everybody has to make choices regarding where to give. TIA.
I want a wrestling robe so I don't have to walk around my house naked and scare the neighbors in the morning. Would pay a premium for one of those bad boys
They usually auction off a robe at the golf events during the summer. Think that is the only way to currently get them outside of wrestling on the actual team
I'm going to personally split mine up between the CRTC and the Cardinal&Gold Collective for now. I'm a big believer in needing senior level athletes to draw recruits and have good training partners.
Maybe a person can send in money and have 3 options, 1. it go to Collective, or 2. it goes to the CRTC or 3. it goes where the staff wishes.
When we beat iowa this year have an auction the week after, won't conflict with summer events and take advantage of in season emotions along with being a tax write-off in December.
Just throwing ideas out

Not to mention those that don't golf or have time/willingness to travel to Humboldt. It is easy enough these days to do an online live auction so those both present and not can participate.
ThisFor the sake of keeping everything straight…I think you combine the 2 under the new Collective and allow the dollars to go where needed/when they are needed…worst thing that can happen when folks are donating to make it complicated and misplaced
But since the coach has no affiliation with the NIL the coach won’t know where the money should go
