Washington, DC (Oct. 10, 2024) – Friends of George (FOG) Collective, the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) collective supporting The George Washington University student-athletes, is proud to announce the launch of its new brand and user-friendly website as the official NIL collective for GW Revolutionaries. This initiative aims to enhance the support and empowerment of GW student-athletes, while also providing an experiential membership program that offers exclusive benefits to supporters, fans, and alumni.
With a fresh look and an updated online platform, FOG Collective’s rebrand and enhanced website reflect its ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive NIL opportunities for GW student-athletes.
In the words of GW Men’s Basketball Head Coach, Chris Caputo:
“The ever-changing landscape of college athletics has shown us just how important supporting NIL can be. I’m excited for the continued empowerment of our student-athletes and supporting FOG is the most direct way our Buff & Blue community can do just that.” Caputo has had one goal since coming to GW: “to deliver our student-athletes the best possible experience both on and off the court. Revitalizing our Friends of George Collective will continue to enhance our student-athletes experience through increased NIL opportunities.”
The newly unveiled website, accessible at fogcollective.com, serves as a gateway for fans, supporters, and alumni to join their revolutionary membership program and get insights into the community supporting GW student-athletes. Supporters can join at one of two membership levels and gain access to exciting benefits such as:
Quarterly Zoom calls with GW Athletics staff and guest appearances
Tickets to a quarterly drawing of exclusive memorabilia
Postgame autograph sessions with the team
Echoing the importance of NIL engagement, Head Coach of GW Women’s Basketball, Caroline McCombs says:
“I’m excited about the opportunities our young women will be afforded thanks to the tireless work of FOG Collective. We’ve seen the direct impact NIL can have on the student-athlete experience across the country and the importance of our alumni and GW community becoming engaged for our student-athletes. We are encouraged by the work that has already been done and look forward to continuing our partnership in the years to come.”
