In one of the largest NIL (“Name, Image, Likeness”) airline deals in college sports, we’re collaborating with Learfield’s Gopher Sports Properties and Dinkytown Athletes to provide Sun Country Reward points to University of Minnesota student athletes in exchange for social media awareness and promotion.
We’ve been the official airline of Gopher Athletics since 2023 and have flown over 500 charter flights for teams since 2012, but this NIL airline deal is one of the largest in college sports and takes our relationship to new heights.
“We are excited to give Gopher student-athletes the opportunity to experience our network of more than 100 destinations,” Chief Revenue Officer Grant Whitney said. “Whether they’re looking for adventure or heading back home to visit friends and family, we look forward supporting their connection to our brand.”
