BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green State University made a big move recently when it comes to name, image, and likeness opportunities for its student athletes.
BGSU announced on Thursday that it has partnered with Blueprint Sports to launch the Ziggy Collective, an NIL collective that will support the nearly 20 NCAA Division I sports at the school. Athletes will have opportunities to benefit off their brand while building relationships within the Bowling Green area as well.
“We’ve had a group of private supporters that are very interested in the space and being innovative in creating opportunities for our student athletes,” BGSU athletic director Derek van der Merwe said.
