LEADERSHIP TEAM

“With so many fans, colleagues and supporters the opportunities are endless. As student-athletes build relationships with local companies and join community events it is imperative to have a company like The Wildcats' Den in place to help maximize opportunities.”

- Aaron Lockett
  Former K-State Football Player

“The competitive landscape of collegiate athletics is constantly changing and the introduction of Name, Image and Likeness by the NCAA has presented the greatest opportunity to date for individuals d companies to directly support and engage current student-athletes. The Wildcats' Den serves as the vehicle for anyone who wants to make a positive impact on K-State student-athletes through NIL opportunities while also helping ensure competitive excellence for KSU Athletics.”

- Brian Morris
  Kansas State Alumni

"In light of the changes to the NCAA NIL policy, it is vital that Kansas State have an alumni group in place to help K-State student-athletes maximize NIL opportunities, so that K-State is competitive with its Big 12 foes and competition outside of the Big 12. The landscape has changed, and NIL is now as important as facilities. Help us help K-State student-athletes!"
