A student-athlete signing up with the Trust is an indication he or she is interested in participating in NIL opportunities that will be arranged and facilitated by the Trust. There is no fee to sign up. Please remember that Country Roads Trust is committed to serve Mountaineer athletes across all sports.

No, Country Roads Trust is a stand-alone Limited Liability Company under West Virginia state law. It is independent of the University, the MAC and the Foundation. However, like the MAC and the Foundation, its mission is to serve the University and its students. 

There is no NIL law in West Virginia. However, the University has an NIL policy in place and student-athletes are obligated to follow the policy. A link to the current policy is here:  https://nil.wvusports.com/#faq.

We welcome any business that may be interested in working with Mountaineer athletes. The staff at Country Roads Trust will connect an interested party with WVU student-athletes, provide marketing, promotional and logistical support and ensure compliance with NCAA and WVU guidelines.

The Trust expects there will be a wide variety of opportunities available for Mountaineer athletes, including personal appearances, meet and greets, social media promotions, autograph sessions, media interviews and on and on. 

Yes, the Trust has helped facilitate opportunities for 155 total WVU student-athletes, 97 of which are male student-athletes as well as 58 female student-athletes.
