change the game.
build a legacy.

Pride Legacy is an independent NIL collective dedicated to empowering Hofstra University student-athletes through strategic Name, Image, and Likeness opportunities. We work with local and national partners to connect brands with athletes, creating meaningful collaborations that elevate visibility, drive value, and build long-term success on and off the field. Beyond supporting Hofstra’s current athletic programs, Pride Legacy champions a bold new vision: to bring Division I FBS football to New York for the first time. We believe in building more than a program — we’re building a legacy.
