Gardner-Webb University, located in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, is a private Christian institution and proud member of the Big South Conference. The Runnin' Bulldogs compete across a range of NCAA Division I sports, and their student-athletes embody Gardner-Webb's commitment to faith, excellence, and community both on and off the field.
In a significant step forward for Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities, Gardner-Webb Athletics has announced a partnership with Influxer — a platform purpose-built to connect college athletes with officially licensed merchandise opportunities that generate real income and real brand equity. Read the official announcement from Gardner-Webb Athletics here.
"Influxer is proud to partner with Gardner-Webb University Athletics and create a meaningful NIL opportunity for Runnin' Bulldogs student-athletes," said Tyler Jaynes, Founder and CEO of Influxer. "As a former college athlete, I understand how valuable it is for student-athletes to have accessible ways to build their personal brands and benefit from their name, image, and likeness. Through officially licensed merchandise, Gardner-Webb athletes will be able to connect more directly with their families, fans, and the broader Runnin' Bulldogs community while earning from the support they have worked so hard to build."
Through this partnership, Gardner-Webb student-athletes gain access to Influxer's NIL merchandise platform, which allows them to earn directly from co-branded, officially licensed apparel and gear. Unlike traditional sponsorship models, Influxer's approach is designed to be accessible to athletes across all sports — not just the highest-profile programs — making it one of the most inclusive NIL solutions available at the collegiate level.
For Runnin' Bulldogs fans, alumni, and supporters, this partnership means more ways to show up for the athletes you love. Every purchase from the Gardner-Webb collection directly supports student-athletes while keeping you connected to the program. Whether you're cheering from the stands or following from afar, wearing Gardner-Webb Influxer merch is a direct investment in the next generation of Runnin' Bulldogs talent.
