GREELEY, Colo. -- The University of Northern Colorado Department Athletics announced the launch of Bear Pride Collective, powered by Student Athlete NIL (SANIL), the official NIL Collective for Bears' Student-Athletes to leverage their Name, Image, and Likeness opportunities.
SANIL is not officially affiliated with UNC Athletics but is acknowledged by the department and will operate within NCAA, Big Sky Conference, and State of Colorado parameters to enhance opportunities for UNC student-athletes.
"I am excited SANIL has decided to start the Bear Pride Collective. It's a great new way for fans to directly support our student-athletes," said UNC Director of Athletics Darren Dunn. "SANIL understands the complicated NIL world we live in and will be an excellent conduit between student-athletes and UNC supporters."
Bear Pride Collective, in conjunction with SANIL's Student-Athlete Empowerment ("SAE") program, will facilitate NIL transactions between UNC Student-Athletes and fans, donors, and businesses. SANIL is the most experienced end-to-end NIL solution provider in the country and is trusted by more than thirty universities to manage NIL programs between interested third parties and student-athletes.
SANIL's Student-Athlete Empowerment and Bear Pride Collective work in unison with various University supporters to create marketing activations that maximize student-athlete earnings while ensuring that the university's best interests remain protected throughout. UNC joins a client roster that includes Oklahoma, Rutgers, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Wake Forest, and Vanderbilt among others.
"We are excited to launch Bear Pride Collective to the fans and supporters of the University of Northern Colorado and its athletics teams," said Jason Belzer, CEO of SANIL. "Our vision is to equip UNC student-athletes with the knowledge, tools, and support essential for them to optimize their NIL opportunities and establish a foundation for a successful future."
ABOUT Bear Pride Collective
Bear Pride Collective is the primary NIL Collective for all UNC student-athletes to leverage their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities. Bear Pride Collective allows businesses, donors, and members to support and engage with their favorite UNC teams and student-athletes or contribute to a general fund that supports student-athletes across several UNC sports. Student-athletes may engage in a variety of opportunities, including personal appearances, meet-and-greets, charitable work, speaking engagements, or commercial sponsorship through the collective. As with all NIL entities, Bear Pride Collective is independent of UNC, and the University does not receive any financial benefit from the organization.
