COUNTDOWN TO THE FINAL FOUR!

Collectives have played a pivotal role in college athletics with their ability to retain (and even recruit) players. To make an impact on retention, funds need to be raised. March Madness is proving to be the perfect time to raise said funds.

Take a look at how collectives are benefitting from their teams being in the Final Four below.
