BRIGHTER FUTURES

The Miner Collective assists UTEP Men's Basketball student-athletes to make a
positive impact in the community by use of their name, image, and/or likeness.


ABOUT THE MINER COLLECTIVE

The Miner Collective was started in 2022 in order to provide income for current
and future UTEP Miner men’s basketball players. The intent of this initiative is
to solicit funds into the collective, provide name, image, and likeness
opportunities for UTEP’s men basketball players, and to disperse the funds to
student-athletes who choose to participate.
‍
The overall objective of the Collective is to keep the UTEP men’s basketball
program strong and competitive in the world of college sports by providing open,
transparent, and legal income to players for use of their name, image, and/or
likeness in promotional opportunities and charitable events in the community.


WHO WE ARE

The Miner Collective is a non-profit, Texas corporation that includes UTEP fans,
alumni, and businesses in the Borderplex who want to create support
opportunities for student-athletes who represent UTEP on the basketball court.
The Collective hopes to build marketing relationships between players and the El
Paso community to assist these student-athletes in generating income through the
use of their name, image, and/or likeness.

The founders of The Miner Collective are Miguel Fernandez, CEO of Flō Networks
and Josh Hunt, Executive Vice President and Director of Hunt Companies, Inc. The
two serve on The Miner Collective Board of Directors, along with Gene Wolf,
Managing Partner of Kemp Smith Law.


THE NIL CONCEPT

NIL collectives for amateur athletes began in July 2021 after the Supreme Court
ruled that college athletes can be paid for the use of their name, image, and
likeness.  The NCAA has long argued that amateur athletes could not make money
off things like jersey sales, autographs, and endorsements.  

Today that rule has changed and under guidelines of the NCAA, most states, and
universities, college athletes can receive money for the use of their personal
intellectual property.  That is the foundation of an NIL collective: to raise
money for these athletes and to provide NIL opportunities for players who opt in
and want to take advantage of the new NIL rules.



BECOMING A PART OF


You can play a role in this exciting new way to support UTEP Men’s Basketball
and its players.  The Collective is accepting donations at all levels – there is
no maximum or minimum amount of giving. Donations can be made by companies or by
individuals.

By using the form below, you can opt in to receive updates about the Collective
and donor opportunities.  You can also request that a representative from The
Miner Collective get in touch with you regarding tie-in opportunities for your
business, brand promotion, or civic and charitable engagement by Miner
basketball players.
Even though the Miner Collective is a Texas nonprofit corporation, contributions
to it are not deductible as charitable donations. You may, however, be able to
deduct contributions to the Collective from your business as a business expense.
The Miner Collective does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. You
should consult your own tax, legal and accounting advisors before deducting any
contributions to the Collective.

AboutWho We AreThe NIL ConceptJoin
Please note: the Miner Collective is subject to all NCAA and UTEP rules and
regulations pertaining to collegiate athletes and NIL collectives. The  Miner
Collective is independent of UTEP but will act in coordination with the
University and UTEP Athletics according to UTEP’s NIL policies and procedures.

By law, NIL collectives cannot offer “play for pay” money; rather, a collective
is a way to provide support and income to college athletes for the use of their
name, image, or likeness.
