Tupper's Kennel - Bryant University Bulldogs Collective
Founders
Tupper's Kennel launched in October 2022 with the support of the agency Student-Athlete NIL (SANIL), which powers NIL collectives that support athletes at schools such as Oklahoma, Penn State and Rutgers, among others. "A lot of smaller schools are now saying, 'How do we create opportunities for our student-athletes? How do we start building an infrastructure that allows us to be competitive and to tap into our fan base and the business community?'" SANIL CEO and co-founder Jason Belzer told On3. "And Bryant wanted to be proactive in that process." Upon the launch of Tupper's Kennel, every Bryant men's basketball player had signed with the collective, which will support athletes across all athletic programs at the university.
