Let’s make Under the ‘L’
a Top-Tier NIL opportunity.

The Under the ‘L’ Fund was created to provide opportunities for all DePaul fans to contribute and engage with the athletes they passionately support through various NIL activities.

By contributing to the Under the ‘L’ Fund, your support opens access to future special events, fan experiences, merchandise, and marketing opportunities with student-athletes. This, in turn, allows DePaul athletes to be compensated for their name, image, and likeness.

Under NCAA rules, Student-Athletes are allowed to receive compensation for the use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL). This can include physical merchandise such as autographs, photos, T-shirts, and hats, as well as digital merchandise such as live streams, virtual press conferences, social media posts, virtual meet-and-greet events, NFTs, and personal content posting. It also includes experiences such as VIP events, camps, lessons, and personal appearances.

The Under The L Fund, in partnership with Athlete Advantage, creates experiences and connections between DePaul Athletes, DePaul fans, and businesses.
