Champions Circle has been a key reason why Michigan athletics have thrived during the NIL era, including with roster building in football and men’s basketball.

“The Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era has redefined collegiate sports, creating opportunities for athletes to monetize their personal brands. Champions Circle works hard to unite donors, businesses, and alumni to provide career-building opportunities and financial support for student-athletes, ensuring that each of their NIL ventures are meaningful,” Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said in a statement posted on the Champions Circle website. “Champions Circle helps our athletes tap into diverse networks that will drive long-term success and provide stability amid the ever-changing NIL landscape.

“By working with Champions Circle and embracing a transformational philosophy, a framework has been developed that supports athletes today while preparing them for tomorrow. Their goal is to empower student-athletes with skills, knowledge, and resources that extend beyond their playing days. The Champions Circle model ensures that NIL initiatives remain impactful and beneficial for everyone involved.”

Michigan football opens the 2025 season with an Aug. 30 home game against New Mexico.
