Pack of Wolves NIL Collective Formally Launches
Collective will Maximize NIL Opportunities for North Carolina State University Student-Athletes
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA – May 17, 2022 – The Pack of Wolves, a community of passionate fans, alumni and supporters of North Carolina State University Wolfpack Athletics, has formally launched a collective to help student-athletes maximize their name, image and likeness (NIL) value, create lasting relationships and make a positive impact in the community.
“We’re excited about the opportunities that Pack of Wolves can bring to these student-athletes,” says Scott Wood, Executive Director for Pack of Wolves and former NC State basketball player. “The collective supports our current athletes not only through individual memberships and business sponsorships, but we’re connecting them with alumni and supporters from fields of interest who can mentor them on branding, communications and remaining financially sound.”
Pack of Wolves is not affiliated with the University, and supports diversity and representation across all men’s and women’s varsity sports at NC State. 100 percent of the proceeds from individual memberships goes directly to creating NIL packages and programs that benefit student-athletes while creating meaningful engagement for fans, supporters and sponsors. Pack of Wolves student-athletes serve as ambassadors of the collective, and all programming is designed to be fully compliant with all NCAA regulations, State of North Carolina executive orders and University policies.
“While we’re focusing our efforts today on taking care of our current athletes, our long-term goal is for every NC State student-athlete to be an ambassador for Pack of Wolves,“ says Haze Lancaster, Pack of Wolves founding member. “We want to help our collective athletes put something else on their resumes so they can go out after graduation better prepared for what’s next, regardless of whether they have the ability to pursue professional athletics.”
Founded on guiding principles of transparency, compliance, collaboration and representation, Pack of Wolves has attracted many big names to its advisory and executive boards. An esteemed group of NC State alumni and supporters has been named to The Pack Of Wolves Advisory Board to help counsel and advise student-athletes, including award-winning country music singer/songwriter, Scotty McCreery; Fox Sports broadcast reporter, Amanda Busick; former Turner Sports COO, Matt Hong; and former Wolfpack athletes Mike Glennon, Aislinn Konig, Ralston Turner, Kai Critchfield, Andrew Ciencin and TJ Graham.
Inside Pack Sports Partnership
One of the premier benefits of a Pack of Wolves membership is access to exclusive Elite+ content from Inside Pack Sports. Inside Pack Sports offers comprehensive NC State sports coverage, breaking news, insights and interviews. The content is culled via a network of well-connected sources based on the relationships of owner, James Henderson, during his 15 years of covering NC state athletics.
“Followers of Inside Pack Sports are passionate about NC State sports, so partnering with Pack of Wolves just made sense,” says James. “Our community just got that much richer!”
The collective is planning a formal launch event in collaboration with Inside Pack Sports to be announced in the upcoming weeks. This will be a unique opportunity for members to network with collective representatives, board members and select Pack of Wolves athletes. More information will be forthcoming.
