FSU NIL collective The Battle’s End officially opens donations to public

The Battle’s End, a Name, Image and Likeness collective that has burst onto the scene for its support of Florida State football, has officially opened up for donations from the public.

Having launched in December 2022, spearheaded by Ingram Smith and several high-profile FSU donors, The Battle’s End’s primary focus is on retaining Seminoles’ athletes.

“Candidly, our job is made easier by their culture and the locker room that Mike Norvell has,” Smith told On3. “I think some of the conversations we’ve had [around rention] would obviously be more challenging. Success helps, but it is legitimately a good culture in Tallahassee right now. It’s not something we’ve been able to say for a while.”

In its first few months, the collective operated without accepting outside help, instead asking the FSU fanbase to observe the work put in as it got off the ground.

The Battle’s End, which has signed newcomers and returning players alike, has provided its affiliated players with off-the-field opportunities including a trip to the Super Bowl and the John Lewis Legacy Institute Gala:

Recently, the State of Florida amended its NIL law to allow schools to work directly with NIL collectives in facilitating partnerships for student-athletes.

The collective offers monthly and annual pricing for those interested in contributing.
