Why
College athletics is in disarray. Everyone wants change, but no one is pursuing it. Athletes are caught in bad spot; their contracts are being retracted, money being paid irregularly, tax situation becoming a mess, and fans can't help.
Shady organizations called "NIL Collectives" have emerged since NIL compensation became legal. Loosely affiliated with "partner" universities, these organizations take donor money and concoct contracts to pay student athletes in whatever way they please.
Whatβs wrong with the status quo?
Not Inclusive
β Collectives restrict membership to specific athletes in select sports (top 1%)
β FanCave believes all athletes have value and should be able to earn
Not Transparent
β Collectives arenβt transparent about how and where donor money goes
β FanCave publicly shares every dollar raised, and where every dollar goes
Not Fan-Operated
β Collectives control allocations and only let donors donate to βthe general fundβ
β FanCave gives fans total control through first compliant way to support specific athletes
Not Athlete-Friendly
β Collectives control athletes via long-term contracts with payback clauses and forced engagement requirements
β On FanCave, there are no contracts. Athletes simply get paid by their biggest fans
