Red and Blue Collective

Yes, organizations who join to Red and Blue Collective can choose to support student-athletes on all teams at Duquesne. Red and Blue Collective will work with you to determine which student-athlete(s) best support the goals of your business and will maximize exposure and return on investment

Member organizations may request to work with a specific student-athlete, but are not guaranteed to receive that student-athletes services. Because of busy academic and athletic schedules, student-athletes’ ability to engage in NIL activities is often limited. Requests to work with a specific student-athlete will be made on a first subscribed, first offered basis, with higher tier subscribers having priority access.

Official category partner designations are only granted to members of the highest tier, on a first come, first serve basis. All Official Partners of Red and Blue Collective receive additional benefits, including cross promotional opportunities with the collective and Duquesne student-athletes.

Organizations can work directly with Red and Blue Collective to contract with Duquesne student-athletes to provide marketing, advertising and other services to enhance their membership benefits or on a la carte basis. Please contact elle@studentathletenil.com or call (201) 875-7676 for more information.

Yes, organizations who join Red and Blue Collective can choose to pay their membership monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Any upfront payment allows a business to lock in and gain immediate access to all benefits for the designated time-period.

Organizations who cancel their membership will receive all benefits owed up-until date of cancellation, but relinquish all time-based benefits not accrued. For example, if a member at the $250 a month level is owed a bi-annual student-athlete on-site, but cancels their membership two months in, said benefit is relinquished. Organizations must be a member for at least two-consecutive months to receive a time-based benefit, or pre-pay their membership.

No, Red and Blue Collective is not affiliated with the Duquesne University in any way. It is a third party created to work with Duquesne student-athletes. That being said, student-athletes may request the right to use the Duquesne University marks and logo in their NIL related work, but that decision rests solely in the hands of the University.

A business may direct that payments for the NIL activations by the student athletes be used to promote the business and/or market the business’ products and services. To learn more, contact us at elle@studentathletenil.com. Under these circumstances, a business may be able to deduct these payments and/or payments for a membership to Red and Blue Collective as a business expense. Of course, a business seeking a tax deduction for such payments should consult with it’s tax advisor prior to taking any such deduction.
