MISSOULA, MT – The University of Montana Department of Athletics announced today, Sept. 7, the relaunch of Good Ol' Grizzlies powered by Student Athlete NIL (SANIL), the official NIL Collective for Grizzly Student-Athletes to leverage their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities.
Under the direction of SANIL, Good Ol' Grizzlies will facilitate NIL transactions between Montana Student-Athletes and fans, donors, and businesses. SANIL is the most experienced end-to-end NIL solution provider in the country and trusted by more than thirty universities to manage NIL programs between interested third parties and student-athletes.
Montana represents the first FCS program to launch on SANIL's new interactive membership engagement platform, which will allow Grizzlies fans to interact with student-athletes, consume and share their own content, and much more. The collective will 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.
"In this new era of college athletics, we are excited to partner with an industry leader like SANIL to help make Good Ol' Grizzlies the best collective resource in the FCS. This will help our current and future student-athletes leverage their name, image, and likeness like never before," said Director of Athletics Kent Haslam.
"The Montana brand is nationally recognized as one of the strongest in collegiate athletics, and our supporters are as passionate as they come. Good Ol' Grizzlies will help drive our programs forward with unmatched exposure and opportunities for our student-athletes."
"We're excited to help relaunch the Good Ol' Grizzlies collective at the University of Montana and empower student-athletes at one of the most storied FCS programs in the country," said Jason Belzer, CEO of SANIL.
"The Grizzly community has a fervor around Montana athletics like few university fan bases do, and it's our hope that we can harness that passion to provide unprecedented opportunities for the student-athletes who don the Maroon and Silver."
