Champions Circle - Michigan Wolverines Collective

Valiant Management, run by former Michigan football player Jared Wangler, launched the Champions Circle collective in June 2022. Valiant Management is a successful Michigan-based sports marketing agency. In April 2023, the collective formally launched with a website and endorsement from Jim Harbaugh. Fans can join the collective with subscription packages ranging from $10 to $500 monthly. Each tier comes with an annual option, too, with different perks included. Donors who join the Victors tier will have access to the Champions Circle Legends Series, which will give supporters the opportunity to interact with former Michigan standouts. The Valiant level, the highest-subscription option for fans, will also receive the Michigan Leaders series, providing access to first-hand, behind-the-scenes accounts from the integral Wolverine staff members. The Champions Circle is being guided by a leadership circle consisting of Nate Forbes, Matt Lester, Navid Mahmoodzadegan and Tim Smith. The collective also has an advisory board, providing strategic guidance to the collective. Current board members include Jimmy King, Sierra Romero, John Wangler and Chris Wormley.
