In an effort to help Michigan football keep several key players, including leading rusher and consensus All-American Blake Corum, for the 2023 season, Valiant Management Group has created a new crowdsourcing financial campaign.
The “One More Year Fund” launched on Sunday in an effort to help the Wolverines retain core players, Corum, offensive linemen Zak Zinter and Trevor Keegan and receiver Cornelius Johnson. The entirety of funds raised will go to the athletes. If any of these players opt to not return for the upcoming season, the money will be distributed to those who return.
“This campaign is an important step in the evolution of NIL activity at Michigan as it will marry Valiant's existing substantial NIL resources with the even broader capabilities of Michigan supporters around the world to help ensure the continued success of the Michigan Football Team,” Jared Wangler, founder and CEO of Valiant Management, said in a statement to The Detroit News.
