HOUSTON - eTradeWire -- College football Saturdays have long been defined by packed stadiums, early-morning tailgates, and passionate fans traveling across the country to support their teams. Yet one major component of that ecosystem has remained disconnected from universities themselves: private aviation.

Each weekend, hundreds of private aircraft transport donors, alumni, and fans into college towns nationwide. Despite representing millions in annual spend, this activity has historically generated no direct economic benefit for the athletic programs those travelers support.

Game Day Private Jets is changing that—through the launch of REVUP, a first-of-its-kind platform designed to convert existing fan travel into a scalable, recurring revenue stream for college athletics.

A Free-to-Join Community Built Around Game Day Travel

Game Day Private Jets begins with accessibility and community.

Anyone can join the platform at no cost to connect with local alumni, donors, and fans, join school-specific travel groups, coordinate shared charter flights, and request private charter quotes through a vetted operator network.

This free membership layer serves as the foundation of the ecosystem—enabling users to engage, organize travel, and participate without friction.

For those looking to participate in shared private jet travel, premium membership unlocks the ability to join or organize group flights, significantly reducing the cost of private aviation by splitting expenses across fellow fans.

REVUP: A Partnership Platform Built for Athletics and Booster Organizations

At the center of the platform is REVUP—a structured partnership program designed to align directly with Athletic Departments and Booster Clubs.

Rather than functioning as a traditional sponsorship, REVUP operates as an institutional partnership embedded within a school's donor and fan ecosystem. It enables Athletics and affiliated organizations to participate in travel activity that has historically operated outside of their economic reach.

Revenue is generated through:

• Membership participation
• Shared private flights
• Individual charters
• Curated game day shuttle experiences

As this activity occurs within a school's community, a portion of the value is captured and aligned back to the program—creating a recurring, scalable revenue stream tied directly to fan engagement.

Game Day Private Jets offers flexible activation models, including direct institutional partnerships as well as donor-funded and booster-led implementations, allowing programs to launch with minimal or no upfront financial commitment.

The company is currently engaged in active discussions with multiple Athletic Directors and Chief Revenue Officers across Power 4 programs, as schools increasingly evaluate new, sustainable revenue strategies.

Based on internal modeling and early market feedback, Game Day Private Jets believes a Power 4 program activating REVUP has a realistic path to generating $1 million or more in new revenue over a three-year period, driven by membership growth, travel activity, and donor participation.

A New Model for NIL Alignment

REVUP also introduces a structured framework for NIL engagement.

Select program tiers include dedicated NIL Activation Funds, enabling universities to partner with student-athletes as Game Day Ambassadors through marketing-based activations. These partnerships connect athletes with a high-value audience of donors, alumni, and business leaders.

The model creates ongoing earning potential while aligning NIL opportunities with real community participation—moving beyond one-off transactions toward a more scalable structure.

Same-Day Travel, Reimagined

A defining feature of the platform is its "Same Day Game Day XP" offering.

Fans can charter private aircraft for same-day roundtrip experiences—departing in the morning, attending the game, and returning home that evening. With pricing starting around $10,000 for an 8-passenger aircraft (approximately $1,250 per person), the model introduces a new level of efficiency and convenience.

More importantly, it transforms travel into a shared social experience—bringing together local fans and alumni beyond the stadium.

Availability

Fans can join the Game Day Private Jets platform today with a free membership to connect with other supporters, explore travel opportunities, and coordinate charters.

Prospective members can enroll now to register their account and secure early access ahead of the community's official launch in the coming weeks. A limited number of Founding Community and Lifetime Memberships are also being made available as part of the initial rollout.

Premium memberships unlock full access to shared private jet travel, while Business Memberships provide companies with a platform to entertain clients and partners through curated game day experiences.

For Athletic Departments, Booster Clubs, and NIL collectives, REVUP offers a turnkey partnership model to activate a new, sustainable revenue stream tied directly to fan engagement.
