The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC) extended its partnership with Nike and BSN Sports. BSN Sports remains the official apparel and equipment provider to the 49ers’ athletic program while outfitting the University’s athletes, coaches and staff in Nike product. 

The agreement will debut across the 49ers’ athletic programs in 2023/24 as Charlotte makes its move to the American Athletic Conference.

“Extending our partnership with Nike adds value to our student-athletes,” said Charlotte 49ers Director of Athletics Mike Hill. “The addition of BSN Sports will provide more hands-on account management for our teams and will assist the University in building merchandising programs with our retail partners. We’re eager to continue to build on our association with Nike, the leading brand in sports.”

 “This agreement between the Charlotte 49ers, BSN Sports and Nike will add tremendous value and dedicated support to the experience of the coaches, student-athletes and administrators involved with Niners’ Athletics,” said Todd Northrop, vice president of BSN Sports Collegiate Select Program. “Our team is excited to provide the Niners’ coaches and teams with the best possible service, unparalleled access to sports equipment, premier apparel and branding resources to continue growing Charlotte’s prominent athletic brand and fan base. We are proud of this partnership and welcome the opportunity to give time back to coaches on a daily basis so they can continue focusing on positively impacting the lives of student-athletes.”
