Welcome to the official hub for NIL at Virginia Tech.

When the first notes of Enter Sandman come through the speakers, the ground in Blacksburg literally shakes as Hokie fans jump up and down in anticipation of another Tech Triumph.

Virginia Tech student-athletes put it all on the line when supporters start jumping. Now, Hokie Nation can do the same by aiding in name, image and likeness opportunities, helping to jump start Tech student-athletes as they reach for excellence.

NIL SUPPORT OPTIONS

Advancing in the name, image and likeness space is crucial for the future success of Virginia Tech Athletics. NIL is on the forefront of many current student-athletes’ and potential recruits’ minds when coming to Blacksburg, and it is imperative for Hokie Nation to keep Virginia Tech competitive in this space against some of the other elite programs in collegiate athletics. Luckily, it’s never been easier to support the NIL interests of Virginia Tech student-athletes.

In accordance with House Bill 1505 passed in April 2024, Virginia public and private institutions are now allowed to facilitate and create name, image and likeness opportunities for student-athletes, streamlining the process for Virginia Tech.

"Name, Image and Likeness is a major factor in recruiting prospective student-athletes, as well as retaining current players. Many friends of our program have stepped up in a big way to help us be competitive in this space. Continued support toward NIL is imperative as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of college athletics."

Head Coach, Men's Basketball

“It is necessary and important to maximize our players’ ability to earn money off their name, image and likeness. While it is easy to focus on the negative aspects of NIL, it can create positive opportunities for our student-athletes. NIL is here to stay and we have embraced it at Virginia Tech. Being competitive in college football means being competitive in the NIL space.”

Brent Pry

Head Coach, Football

“NIL is a game-changer for many student-athletes, as it gives them control over their own brand. Seeing the impact, big or small, that it has had on some of our volleyball student-athletes has been great to see.”

Marci Byers

Head Coach, Volleyball

“The NIL experience has been educational. Aside from the financial benefits, it has taught me how to be an entrepreneur and how to market myself. I have learned how to operate in the business world and how to speak in public. NIL has provided me with opportunities to grow and develop not only as a student-athlete but as a person.”
