About ADVANCE
Our Story
ADVANCE is a joint venture powered by TeamAltemus and Anomaly Sports Group officially launched in 2022 and delivers on-demand NIL and Life Skills Education. Our independent and objective education has been developed over decades of providing financial and legal advice to professional athletes. At the launch of NIL, we were on the front lines of athlete and administrator education fulfilling our commitment to be a full-service education and advisory provider in college sports. Our web-based digital education is mobile friendly and our in-person education sessions deliver real-world practical education with unparalleled engagement to over 35 colleges and universities, as well as dozens of high schools and pro teams. Our experience and engagement with NCAA schools ranges from small DII and DIII schools, to the largest DI schools. We empower student-athletes and athletic departments to focus on their core competencies while collaborating with us to leverage our experience and expertise. Through comprehensive education and advisory services, we support all stakeholders in the NIL ecosystem to thrive in this new era of continuous change in collegiate athletics.
