Connecting College SportsTM
Fan Devotion. Daily. For Life.
2
For over 190 millionAmericans,
A significant part of what defines us is our COLLEGE TEAM.
Our teams are like our children.
We don’t love them because they are good,
we love them because they are OURS.
We idolize the players, chant in the stadiums, pontificate about
the game and congregate with our fellow fans.
For some of us, COLLEGE SPORTS IS OUR RELIGION.
College Nation Sports is where we worship.
What Defines Us?
Why College Nation Sports (CNS)
CNS activates, enhances, elevates and maximizes college sports lives:
• by enabling fans to study and exercise their devotion;
• by connecting fans in a meaningful way to their favorite sports figures
(teams, coaches, players, etc.);
• by enabling fans to easily find, connect to and interact with their common fan base both
online and offline;
• by curating and delivering the most highly engaging and relevant content, sharing unique
perspectives not offered anywhere else;
• by providing tools to create interaction amongst fans;
• by supporting and enhancing the fan’s lifestyle.
3
CNS does this through its innovative social lifestyle application that delivers college sports content
and fosters social engagement between the fans and the content itself.

College fans are more likely to buy from advertisers
• College sports fans are the most avid of any sports demographic in North America.
• Value can be created through sponsorships, advertisements and social commerce.
There is nothing quite like college sports.
Fan Devotion
- Fans Think about their teams constantly. Cognitive science studies have revealed that
information and thinking release dopamine in the same way as exercise. As a result,
fans crave more information and more information to satisfy their fix
- Fans Feel – an empathetic user experience design pulls at the emotive relationship
between the fan and their team and other fans resulting in a feeling of belonging to
something bigger than themselves.
- Fans Do– when fans think about and feel close to their team they will DO what is
asked. The “do” is transferable beyond information and connectivity, it can be
transferred to action.

Connecting College Fans
Our world is more connected than ever, through web traffic via desktop browsers and,
increasingly, through mobile devices.

  • 1. 1 Connecting College SportsTM Fan Devotion. Daily. For Life.
  • 2. 2 For over 190 millionAmericans, A significant part of what defines us is our COLLEGE TEAM. Our teams are like our children. We don’t love them because they are good, we love them because they are OURS. We idolize the players, chant in the stadiums, pontificate about the game and congregate with our fellow fans. For some of us, COLLEGE SPORTS IS OUR RELIGION. College Nation Sports is where we worship. What Defines Us?
  • 3. Why College Nation Sports (CNS) CNS activates, enhances, elevates and maximizes college sports lives: • by enabling fans to study and exercise their devotion; • by connecting fans in a meaningful way to their favorite sports figures (teams, coaches, players, etc.); • by enabling fans to easily find, connect to and interact with their common fan base both online and offline; • by curating and delivering the most highly engaging and relevant content, sharing unique perspectives not offered anywhere else; • by providing tools to create interaction amongst fans; • by supporting and enhancing the fan’s lifestyle. 3 CNS does this through its innovative social lifestyle application that delivers college sports content and fosters social engagement between the fans and the content itself.
  • 4. Why College Fans? 4 7 5 3 Men/Women 190+ Million Active Fans 80M $75k+ 42M $100k+ Income 90% on SM 75% Active Social Media 9% 31% 37% 53% MLB NBA NASCAR NHL College fans are more likely to buy from advertisers • College sports fans are the most avid of any sports demographic in North America. • Value can be created through sponsorships, advertisements and social commerce. There is nothing quite like college sports.
  • 5. Fan Devotion - Fans Think about their teams constantly. Cognitive science studies have revealed that information and thinking release dopamine in the same way as exercise. As a result, fans crave more information and more information to satisfy their fix - Fans Feel – an empathetic user experience design pulls at the emotive relationship between the fan and their team and other fans resulting in a feeling of belonging to something bigger than themselves. - Fans Do– when fans think about and feel close to their team they will DO what is asked. The “do” is transferable beyond information and connectivity, it can be transferred to action. 5
