Who we are
Uncaged is more than just a collective; it’s a movement.
Uncaged was created to help Gorilla student-athletes take control of their brand and their future.
Our mission is simple.
Provide opportunities, engage the community, and elevate our student-athletes. Once a gorilla, always a gorilla. We rise stronger together—when Pitt State wins, we all win.
WHAT IS NIL?
What is NIL?
NIL stands for Name, Image, and Likeness, a new opportunity that allows college athletes to profit from their personal brand.
Under recent changes in NCAA regulations, student-athletes can now receive compensation for using their name, image, and likeness in various ways—whether through sponsorships, social media partnerships, autographs, or local business collaborations.
For Pitt State athletes, this means they can earn money while continuing to play the sports they love and represent our community with pride. The Uncaged Collective empowers these athletes by connecting them with local businesses, fans, and supporters like you.
By supporting our athletes through NIL, you're helping them thrive financially, fueling the growth of Pitt State Athletics, and strengthening the bonds within our Gorilla family. Together, we can unleash their potential both on and off the field!
what does my CONTRIBUTION go to?
When you contribute to the Uncaged Collective, your support directly benefits the student-athletes of Pittsburg State University. Your contribution help lessen the financial burden on our student-athletes.
Your contribution allows them to earn compensation for their name, image, and likeness through appearances and fan events while they focus on their academic and athletic pursuits.
In addition to individual athlete support, your contribution also helps fund programs that educate and empower athletes to manage their newfound opportunities responsibly.
Every dollar you give strengthens our athletics programs, builds a stronger connection with our community, and ensures that Pitt State athletes can maximize their potential both on and off the field.
Together, we can help these young men and women excel in ways that benefit everyone—from the athletes to our entire community.
