The 1890 Club: Mighty by Many
Built on Tradition. Fueled by Passion.
What Is the 1890 Club
The 1890 Club isn’t just a subscription, it’s a statement. For just $18.90/month, you stand shoulder to shoulder with Cougs everywhere to ensure our best student-athletes stay in Pullman, our teams stay competitive, and our legacy grows stronger with every snap, serve, and slam. Named for the year WSU was founded, the 1890 Club powers the Cougar Collective, the official NIL engine supporting WSU Athletics in this new era of college sports.
Why It Matters
College sports have changed. The game isn’t just played on the field - it’s won through community. And few communities run deeper, louder, or stronger than the 250,000+ proud WSU alumni worldwide. We don’t need just one big donor. We’ve got something better: a legion. We are Mighty by Many. With thousands of Cougs each doing a little, we can do a lot - fund NIL deals, build a community, build the Ol’ Crimson store, and keep crimson-clad stars playing for Wazzu, not going to the portal.

🚩 What You’re Supporting
When you join the 1890 Club, your dollars directly fund NIL opportunities for Cougar student-athletes across every sport - football, hoops, volleyball, baseball, soccer, and more.
You’re also fueling a DTC powerhouse built on the most iconic tradition in college football: The Ol’ Crimson flag, flown proudly at over 320 consecutive ESPN GameDay broadcasts, is now the center of a retail engine that feeds the Collective, drives revenue, and deepens fan engagement.
🏆 This Is Our Moment
We may not outspend other schools, but we will out-support them.
Because when Cougs come together — in Seattle, Spokane, Scottsdale, and beyond — we’re not just passionate fans.
We’re builders. We’re believers. We’re Mighty by Many.
Let’s turn loyalty into action.
Let’s show what it means to be WAZZU through and through.
