the way in providing NIL opportunities for Texas A&M student-athletes. Texas Aggies United was

supporters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of Texas Aggies United?
Once NIL became permissible in 2021, it quickly became obvious that ensuring student-athletes were
maximizing their NIL opportunities was a necessity. Many still do not embrace the notion of student-athletes
being compensated for their name, image and likeness, but it is a requirement to compete in today's world.
We hope you'll embrace the opportunity to assist.
How did Texas Aggies United begin?
Texas Aggies United is a new name for the NIL fund that has been operating since 2021 in support of Texas
