SAN DIEGO – Silver Waves Media has announced its highly anticipated list of the 2025 80 Most Influential People in the NIL Space, recognizing leaders who have redefined the landscape of collegiate athletics through innovation, advocacy, and impact. Among this year’s honorees is J.T. Rogan, Executive Director of Olé Foundation, the University of San Diego’s official Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partner.
J.T. Rogan knows how it feels to score a touchdown. He reached the end zone a record 54 times as a University of San Diego football player from 2005-09. It’s one of eight career records Rogan set during his playing days.
But he also knew the other side of playing football at USD, a non-scholarship school where love of the game was vital. The struggle was real. Rogan had Pell Grants and took out loans, always doing what he could to continue playing football.
SAN DIEGO — University of San Diego Athletics on Thursday afternoon announced its official partnership with the Olé Foundation, a dedicated initiative supporting Torero student-athletes’ Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights. Founded by USD alumni, the Olé Foundation is committed to providing opportunities for the University of San Diego’s 17 varsity teams to earn income through their NIL.
The Olé Foundation will collaborate closely with the USD athletic department to ensure comprehensive support for all 450 student-athletes, aligning with the university’s mission, tradition, and values.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have a cohort of devoted alumni rallying behind our student-athletes,” said USD Associate Vice President and Executive Director of Athletics Kimya Massey. “The Olé Foundation is poised to set the standard for NIL initiatives within our athletic community. We are committed and will be nimble in the NIL landscape to maintain competitiveness at the conference and national level. We will be sure to maximize opportunities and leverage every avenue available to benefit our Toreros.”
