Perhaps the biggest actual “announcement” of the day was “Built 4 Life” NIL program that BYU athletics will be running starting on July 1st. The program will partner with different companies and provide opportunities for them to have opportunities while at BYU and after. BYU released the following statement:

“Student-athletes can also leverage other connections within the vast Built4Life network, which features the founding partners of the Salt Lake Chamber, the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce and Silicon Slopes.

Holmoe has appointed Gary Veron to oversee the Built4Life program in an associate athletic director role announced today.”

There is a lot of information on this program and the tweet below explains it a lot better than any writing could.
