It was announced today that the men's basketball team is launching a new initiative--a fan club through the newly-created NBC Sports Athlete Direct. Looks like we are the first team to have this campaign with NBC. Saw a few players tweeting and promoting it today.

Looks like the benefits include an autographed team photo, access to a members-only podcast and a 'virtual' meet & greet with the team. I'll be interested to see if more benefits pop up and/or they create some type of "tier" system.

I've been wanting Loyola to do a bit more on the NIL front and looking for ways to support the players (other than buying jerseys I'll never wear...). I know some people are against it, but it is the path forward and just the way things are now.

Here's the link: https://nbcsportsathletedirect.myshopif ... l-fan-club

It will also be promoted during the broadcast of Saturday's game vs George Mason.

Listening to the podcast now. It's a really well-done piece of content. It's a video of Golden, Schweiger, Welch and Alston sitting around talking about a whole range of topics--their thoughts on the current season, the A10 vs MVC, Twitter chatter on the team, life around campus, etc. Really recommend it.

Signed up myself, hardest part was choosing which players promo code to use as they probably get a little boost. Seems like a great deal for what you get

Signed up also. Good potential. Curious to see how they develop this going forward
