Get exclusive access and behind the scenes content from your favorite Gamecock athletes. The Garnet Trust is the official NIL collective of the University of South Carolina, connecting student athletes to fans and businesses.
Our Mission
We're on a mission to build the best NIL program in the college sports. By making NIL deals more accessible, we're helping student athletes develop the critical business and life skills they need as they transition to life after sports.
Get Exclusive Benefits and Behind The Scenes Content
Get to know student athletes on a deeper level by getting a behind the scenes look at their sport and their lives and make a meaningful impact in their lives.
Create Opportunities for Student Athletes
Name, Image, and Likeness rights give student athletes the ability to earn compensation from media opportunities and events, allowing them to have a legal path to help pay for personal or family needs.
Join The Garnet Trust
Since launching in November 2021, the Garnet Trust has worked with over 120 University of South Carolina student-athletes across 19 sports from football to women’s golf.
