Who is The Collegiate Licensing Company?

Founded in 1981, CLC is the oldest and largest collegiate licensing agency in the nation and currently represents more than 180 colleges, universities, bowl games, athletic conferences, The BCS, The Heisman Trophy, and the NCAA (including the Men's and Women's Final Four, the College World Series, and all NCAA Championships).
How do I get access to TCE to search for products?
Access to TCE is free of charge to all registered retail stores. To register, simply click the registration button on the left side of this page and submit your information.
Why do I have to register to search the site?
The licensed manufacturers catalogued on the site are wholesale manufacturers seeking to sell product to retail buyers, rather than direct sales to consumers.
Because of the vast amount of product information that is available and the number of retail outlets that use the site, it is important to restrict access to qualified collegiate retail stores who desire to facilitate commerce using the site.
How can collegiate licensed manufacturers participate in TCE?
All manufacturers licensed for at least one school are eligible to participate through sponsored licensee profiles that include product listings and contact information, which is viewable by retailers. To request a licensee profile sponsorship form, please contact:
