JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – August 19, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

The University of Florida Athletics Department announced today an “all-in” partnership with CAMPUS to elevate its fan experience and provide NIL solutions for student-athletes. CAMPUS, co-founded by Gators legend Tim Tebow, provides a turnkey NIL solution for athletic departments and student-athletes that upgrades fandom by creating new VIP experiences for fans.

“We believe this will be a game-changer for our football program to lead the nation in the NIL resources available to our student-athletes,” said Florida head football coach Billy Napier. “I’m calling for all Gators fans to join CAMPUS and support our student-athletes, which will be critical as we strive to return our program to its championship tradition.”

CAMPUS provides media, marketing, e-commerce and tech services to universities and athletes to sell Tokens (NFTs) featuring the school and/or athlete, which “unlock” special access to digital or real-life experiences that appeal to fans. Limited-edition CAMPUS Tokens featuring individual Florida student-athletes and groups of student-athletes will be released at CAMPUS.io throughout the upcoming football season. Each Token comes with exclusive ownership benefits and can even be re-sold on CAMPUS’ marketplace, providing additional opportunities for the athlete to earn NIL income.

“CAMPUS is an outstanding solution for our athletic department to set the standard in NFTs and NIL support for student-athletes,” said Florida director of athletics Scott Stricklin. “Giving our fans the best experience is essential and CAMPUS’s approach and technology give us new and exciting ways to engage Gator Nation.”

To start, fans can visit CAMPUS.io to register for a CAMPUS account. New student-athlete Tokens will “drop” each week throughout the season but each has a limited scarcity, meaning fans will need to visit CAMPUS.io consistently and act quickly to get the Tokens they want for their Program. As a fan, you can add Tokens to Build Your Program and move up CAMPUS Leaderboards which also helps Florida build its programs to move up in national rankings. Partnering with CAMPUS gives both current and potential student-athletes another compelling reason why Florida is an attractive choice for their college experience. Each time a Token featuring a student-athlete is sold, that student-athlete receives an instant royalty payment.

“Just how new tech led to a better gameday experience at The Swamp and new tech led to better behind-the-scenes content on social media, the new tech we’re using will lead to better access and more memorable moments for fans,” said CAMPUS co-Founder and CEO Christine Menedis. “We’re empowering everyone involved. CAMPUS gives fans an opportunity to directly impact their team’s roster in a way never before possible.”

“I’m so pumped for how my alma mater is going to benefit from CAMPUS,” said Tebow. “Gator Nation is going to love collecting these Tokens and receiving all the benefits they unlock.”

The Islands of Tahiti anticipates being the site of the global Olympic surf competition in 2024

PAPEETE, French Polynesia – August 16, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Future site of the surfing competition for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the village of Teahupo’o, on the island of Tahiti, opened its annual surf competition Outerknown Tahiti Pro (Aug. 11-21) with cultural ceremonies and dance, remarks from several dignitaries, and representatives of the local and international surf communities.

Occurring in just two short years, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games provide a global spotlight on the most iconic swell in the Polynesian islands and one of the most famous in the world, the wave at Teahupo’o, legendarily one of “the deadliest waves in the world.” At the competition, local surfers will challenge global competitors in their home surf, in the Polynesian islands where the sport was invented. The event will be a cultural milestone for the people of French Polynesia, also known as The Islands of Tahiti.

The swelling of national pride was present at the opening day’s event as government Minister of Youth and Sports Naea Bennett took the stage.

“We are proud to welcome the world elite of surfing — these 36 athletes including 12 women who will give us, without a doubt, an extraordinary spectacle during this competition. We are proud to have among the world surfing elite children of Fenua (our country),” declared Bennett. “Surfing, this Polynesian sport, is recognized worldwide and has been included in the program of the 2024 Olympic Games.”

World Junior Championship winner and Tahitian local Vahine Fierro, 22, was in attendance alongside veteran Tahitian surfing icons Michel Bourez and Kauli Vaast, named as the “children of Fenua” noted in the speech.

Teahupo’o, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games site, will soon welcome the arrival of Tony Estanguet, President of the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games (OCOG) of 2024.

The wave at Teahupo’o will be the 10th and last stage of the World Tour within the framework of the professional world championships organized by the World Surf League (WSL). Indeed, this legendary wave (sometimes surging as high as 50 feet) inspires awe and fear in even the most elite surfers with its unparalleled power and menacing reef break.

“We are proud to have been chosen by the Organizing Committee of the 2024 Olympic Games to host the surfing events,” Bennett also remarked. 

Surfing, due to the wonder it inspires, has become an important economic activity in The Islands of Tahiti through retail sales of products but also the many surf schools run by educators in the discipline. It is also an important cultural export, providing a sense of pride and showcasing the athleticism and symbiosis with nature that is embodied by the Polynesian people. 

“Long live surfing, long live sport and long live French Polynesia,” concluded Bennett.
