The 1998 Club was established to rebrand for NIL efforts specifically for the ISU Men’s Basketball program. All funds raised through the 1998 Club will be used to enrich and empower the men’s basketball team to create a successful future at ISU. The goal is to establish a tradition of excellence that becomes the standard in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Why 1998? 1998 is symbolic for the year ISU last played in the NCAA tournament and will serve as a reminder of the drought long after we are consistently making NCAA tournament appearances. This will be the official source to link fans, donors and businesses with the Redbirds Men’s Basketball program for NIL opportunities.
