JERSEY CITY, N.J. – With the rapidly changing landscape of collegiate athletics and growth of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), a dedicated group of Peacock alumni has formed an NIL collective called Peacock Feathers in full support of Saint Peter's University Athletics.
"We are so grateful for the alumni who spearheaded the development of Peacock Feathers," Saint Peter's athletic director
Katie Arcuri stated. "This is crucial for ensuring Saint Peter's Athletics' continued success and enriching the student-athlete experience in the evolving landscape of college athletics and NIL."
As Arcuri said, the creation of Peacock Feathers is a critical step forward in taking Saint Peter's Athletics to new heights. Inherent in the formation of Peacock Feathers is the vision to provide all Peacock student-athletes with a championship-caliber experience that fosters and develops entrepreneurial spirit, utilizing NIL opportunities as a vehicle for personal growth.
Peacock Feathers aims to empower student-athletes at Saint Peter's University by enhancing their profiles and facilitating NIL deals. The initiative offers tailored educational programs designed to help athletes comprehend their NIL rights and make informed decisions.
By connecting athletes with experts, providing legal guidance, and implementing strategic marketing initiatives, the program actively fosters partnerships that align with the athletes' personal and professional goals.
Peacock Feathers is a separate entity from Saint Peter's University. A student-athlete's involvement in NIL activities will not relieve the student-athlete from the obligation to comply with all NCAA, University and Saint Peter's Athletics academic standards, requirements, regulations or obligations.
There are no limits on the amount of income a student-athlete may earn through NIL activities, provided any compensation is for work actually performed. Prospective donors or members of Peacock Feathers are encouraged to review the following educational information (
NCAA Guidance,
Saint Peter's NIL Policy).
