The NIL Era

St. John's Basketball has long been recognized for its unwavering commitment to men's basketball and the development of talented athletes.

With a rich history dating back to 1907, the program has consistently fostered a culture of excellence, producing numerous NBA stars and celebrated basketball legends. This dedication to nurturing athletes' skills and instilling strong values has resulted in a legacy of success both on and off the court.

In the era of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals St. John's Basketball has continued to demonstrate its support for its players' future endeavors beyond college sports through the Flat Top Fund. We are committed to understanding the evolving landscape of college athletics to empower its athletes to benefit from their own brand and image. The goal of this proactive approach is to provide resources for St. John's men’s basketball athletes to capitalize on their popularity and marketability, providing them with exciting prospects and financial incentives during their collegiate careers.

As a result of this progressive approach, St. John's Basketball has witnessed unprecedented success in attracting top-notch talent, both locally and nationally. Recruits now recognize the program's commitment to not only athletic excellence but also to the holistic growth of their players as individuals and professionals. This commitment has translated into an impressive array of NIL deals for St. John's athletes, ranging from endorsement contracts to social media partnerships. With this comprehensive support system in place, St. John's continues to foster an environment where athletes can thrive both academically and athletically, setting a remarkable example for other collegiate basketball programs in the NIL era.
