NIL in Action

Over $6 million in NIL revenue distributed to University of Michigan Student-Athletes.

In conjunction with Valiant Management Group, we have been able to stay competitive in NIL by compensating both male and female University of Michigan student-athletes through compliant NIL activities and programs.

Over 15 teams and 500 student-athletes supported.

Champions Circle® is committed to supporting as many student-athletes as possible across the University of Michigan campus. In conjunction with Valiant Management Group we have supported athletes and teams from women’s lacrosse, to women’s basketball, to men’s basketball and football. Our goal is to eventually be able to serve every student-athlete on campus.

Over $135,000 raised for the One More Year Fund™.

Coming off the success of Michigan Football’s 2022 conference championship run, the Champions Circle® team launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise funds to support players making the next run in 2023. Learn more at onemoreyearfund.com.
