Bulldog Community Outreach Incorporated is launching a name, image, and likeness collective to help Louisiana Tech student-athletes receive compensation for N-I-L deals. Spokesperson Ed Buckley says this initiative will benefit the Ruston community and the athlete.
“We’ll work with representatives from each of the teams to offer opportunities for players that they designate to perform some type of community service and in return the parish will receive and agreed upon amount of funds.”
Buckley says this is an opportunity for student athletes to serve the community while boosting their name, image, and likeness. He believes this will be another tool in the recruiting bag.
“For the coaches to compete against other schools, our peer schools. To entice student athletes to come to Louisiana Tech to play in their respective sports.”
Buckley says the changing landscape of college athletics requires additional support with NIL’s for student-athletes. He says fans and alumni can get in the game.
“Donating, that would be the main thing but also just helping us get the word out. Building a network is going to be important for us since we just started.”
