​At Tennessee State University, tradition meets transformation.  And today, the game is changing—not just on the field, but off it too.  Thanks to the groundbreaking support of the 1912 Sports Group, TSU football student-athletes are stepping into a new era of empowerment through NIL opportunities. The 1912 Sports Group is more than an NIL Collective.  It's a movement—committed to amplifying the voices, talents, and brands of TSU athletes.  By partnering with TSU, we’re helping players unlock their potential beyond the playbook.  From brand deals and sponsorships to community engagement and financial literacy, 1912 is building a bridge between athletic excellence and entrepreneurial success. This isn’t just about contracts—it’s about legacy.  It’s about ensuring that our athletes are recognized, rewarded, and ready for life after football.  With the 1912 Sports Group, TSU is setting the standard for what NIL can look like at an HBCU.  So whether you're a fan, a future recruit, or a proud alum—know this: the future of TSU football is bright, bold, and built on opportunity.  Join us.  Support us. And watch us rise!
