This Is What We Jump For

Helping Wisconsin fans support the Badgers in the NIL Era

Helping You Support Wisconsin in an Important New Way

When athletes gained the right to control their own Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), it caused a sea of change in college sports. It also brought a tidal wave of new possibilities for Wisconsin student-athletes, led by Badger fans like you.
