ORLANDO - The UCF Athletics Association announced Wednesday a partnership with The Kingdom NIL as an official sponsor of UCF Athletics and the premier collective.
The Kingdom NIL was founded by a group of trusted and passionate alumni and Varsity Knights to improve the lives of UCF student-athletes during their tenure in college and into their professional careers.
"Winning in today's evolving collegiate athletics environment requires a new comprehensive strategy," said UCF vice president and director of athletics Terry Mohajir. "When we launched Mission XII, our fundraising initiative as we enter the Big 12, I spoke about the three parallel tracks of self-generated revenue we needed to (1) increase our operating budgets, (2) improve and maintain our facilities, and (3) retain and hire the best coaches and staff. Support of "The Kingdom" adds a necessary fourth track, NIL, to retain and attract the most accomplished student-athletes in the country."
The Kingdom NIL's mission is to enrich, enhance, and empower the lives of UCF student-athletes. For more information on The Kingdom, click here.
S.J. Tuohy has been named the Executive Director of the Kingdom NIL to spearhead the collective's efforts and will take over at the end of the month. Tuohy previously served as Associate Athletic Director/Chief of Staff for Football at UCF and Director of Football Operations at Liberty University.
"I'm excited for the new opportunity to work with not just football, but all athletes at UCF to make The Kingdom one of the premier collectives in college athletics and bring UCF to the forefront of the NIL landscape nationally," said Tuohy.
On Saturday, April 15, The Kingdom NIL will host the spring equipment yard sale as one of their marquee events. Helmets, jerseys, and other UCF team-issued gear will be available. All items purchased will directly support The Kingdom's initiatives with more details coming soon.
Please follow the @KingdomNIL for the most up-to-date information about the equipment yard sale.
*Please note that contributions to The Kingdom NIL are not considered tax-deductible gifts to UCF Athletics or the UCF Foundation.
