Our Team

Dayton 6th is run by a small group of volunteers. From our board of directors to our advisory board, each member of the Dayton 6th team is dedicated to supporting the success of Dayton Athletics and the student-athletes who wear Flyer jerseys.

These individuals serve as stewards of the investments in our student-athletes which have been generously provided by the Flyer Faithful via Dayton 6th. The team ensures compensation is provided in accordance with federal, state, NCAA, and University guidelines while also ensuring maximum return on investment for the Dayton region and the nation’s most passionate college basketball fans.

What are they saying?

“The most active individual locally is Matt Farrell, local business executive. Matt not only has a personal relationship with many of our athletes, but he also understands the NIL landscape, and, having been a former men's basketball staff member and a member of my athletic department staff, he knows our program."

Neil Sullivan, University of Dayton
Vice President & Director of Athletics

The team at Dayton 6th has been active in supporting Men’s and Women’s Basketball players at the University of Dayton since the inception of NIL in July 2021. A few examples of our work can be found here:
