Beyond the Paint
We do NIL the right way
While many NIL Collectives take as much as 30% of the money raised to pay overhead and make a profit, we choose to be different. By teaming up with a small group of super-fans and former athletes who are willing to cover the costs of running Beyond the Paint, we are able to pass on every dollar invested directly to our University of Utah women’s basketball team athletes and give them opportunities to engage with their fans and participate in philanthropic efforts in our community.
Zero management fees are kept by Beyond the Paint
Provide opportunities for athletes to connect more directly with our community
Beyond the Paint even pays the payment processing fees to make sure every dollar invested makes maximum impact
Community Involvement
We invest in female student-athletes AND improve our community with charity-focused time donations, exclusive awareness events, and endorsements
Fan Engagement
Beyond the Paint specializes in connecting UTAH FANS with UTAH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PLAYERS. We facilitate interactions with fans via social media, as well as personal, once-in-a-lifetime experiences with our athletes, and sell exclusive Beyond the Paint fan gear
Student Athlete Development
We help female student-athletes to build skills that are transferable from athletics to life by providing opportunities for them to build their brand and increase their exposure by engaging directly with fans and our community
Zero Fees
We do all of this without taking any fees. In fact, we pay the payment processing fees to ensure that every dollar invested goes to our University of Utah women’s basketball team athletes
Who are we?
We are a group of super-fans and former athletes who love the University of Utah women’s basketball team! We want to see them succeed as a team and as individuals, in competition and off the court.
We believe deeply in the power of these athletes to be a transformative force in our community. As such we use every dollar we collect to allow our student-athletes the time they need to be visible in our community and support causes that are important to them.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us using the contact form below or via email at admin@beyondthepaintutah.com
What is NIL?
NIL stands for Name, Image, and Likeness. Effective July 1, 2021 the NCAA made a change that allows college athletes to receive financial compensation for their name, image, and likeness.
What is an Beyond the Paint?
Beyond the Paint is a way for groups of fans to get together to engage in NIL opportunities with athletes. Our group takes in investments and then pays athletes for providing some kind of value to our community.
Is Beyond the Paint affiliated with the University of Utah?
No, we are not. While we directly support a team that is affiliated with the University of Utah, we do not have any ties to the University of Utah other than as fans!
Where does my investment go?
Your investments are paid directly to those University of Utah women’s basketball team athletes who choose to participate in our Beyond the Paint activities. These activities include fan engagement events, charity work, social media posts, supporting charities, and other similar activities.
It is also important to note that Beyond the Paint takes no fees from your investment and even pays the payment processing fees to maximize the impact of each investment we receive.
Do you support any other sports?
While we are fans of all of the athletic teams at the University of Utah, we focus our efforts exclusively on the women’s basketball team.
Big or small,
every contribution matters
Whether you can afford to contribute $5, $50, $500, or $5,000 every donation helps our athletes to support our community. We started Beyond the Paint believing that these athletes who are highly visible both within the University and within our community have the power to be leaders of change. To that end, every dollar collected will be used to support our women’s basketball team athletes as they promote and serve causes that are important to them and our community. So, while Beyond the Paint isn’t a charity, we will use your support to help our athletes make the world a little bit better.
