June 16, 2026 [Houston, TX]<\/b> \u2014 Game Day Private Jets (\u201cGame Day\u201d), the private travel platform built for college athletics, today announced David Olano as the second student-athlete added to the Game Day Athletes roster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Olano, a Texas A&M football student-athlete and former Illinois kicker, joins Game Day as an Athlete Ambassador and will help promote the company\u2019s growing platform of private travel memberships, by-the-seat Game Day Shuttle opportunities, and the Game Day Impact Jet Card.<\/span><\/p>\n

The partnership continues Game Day\u2019s broader strategy of connecting fans, donors, alumni, families, and student-athletes through premium game day travel experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

GAME DAY ATHLETES: BUILT AROUND THE EXPERIENCE<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Game Day Athletes platform is designed to create meaningful NIL opportunities through storytelling, content, fan engagement, and real-world travel experiences tied to college sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a Game Day Athlete Ambassador, Olano will participate in social media content, fan-facing campaigns, membership promotion, shuttle awareness, and select Game Day activations built around the 2026 college football season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGame day is what makes college football special,\u201d said Olano. \u201cThe energy, the travel, the fans, the moments before and after the game \u2014 it all matters. I\u2019m excited to be kicking it with Game Day Private Jets and helping show fans that there are new ways to get to games, connect with their community, and be part of something bigger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

SPOTLIGHT: DAVID OLANO<\/b><\/h2>\n

Olano has built his reputation through consistency, preparation, and performance in pressure moments. A two-time All-Big Ten honoree and Academic All-Big Ten selection, Olano connected on 20 of 23 field goal attempts and all 44 extra points during the 2025 season, while also delivering a walk-off, game-winning field goal in a bowl victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond the numbers, Olano represents the type of student-athlete Game Day is building around \u2014 disciplined, focused, academically committed, and positioned to connect authentically with fans in the modern NIL landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDavid is exactly the kind of athlete we want representing Game Day,\u201d said Luis Garcia, Founder & CEO of Game Day Private Jets. \u201cHe is prepared, reliable, and understands what it means to show up when it matters. That fits our platform perfectly. We are not just looking for athletes with visibility; we are building around student-athletes who can help tell a bigger story about travel, access, family, and the college game day experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKICKING IT WITH GAME DAY\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n

As part of the partnership, Olano will help lead the \u201cKicking It With Game Day\u201d campaign \u2014 a content and fan engagement initiative focused on making premium game day travel feel more accessible, more social, and more connected to the college athletics community.<\/span><\/p>\n

The campaign will highlight three core Game Day opportunities:<\/b><\/p>\n

Game Day Memberships<\/b><\/p>\n

Fans, alumni, and donors can join the Game Day platform to connect with other supporters, request private charters, propose shared flights, and access preferred opportunities around home and away games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Game Day Shuttles<\/b><\/p>\n

Game Day is building by-the-seat, same-day private travel experiences that allow fans to fly to major games and return home the same day \u2014 avoiding commercial travel headaches, hotel compression, rental cars, and full-weekend travel friction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Game Day Impact Jet Card<\/b><\/p>\n

The Game Day Impact Jet Card gives donors, fans, and businesses a private travel solution that also creates measurable impact for college athletics through NIL-focused allocations, ongoing flight impact contributions, and school-aligned opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDavid gives us a great voice to tell the story in a fun, approachable way,\u201d Garcia added. \u201cWhen fans can organize by school, share aircraft, access by-the-seat opportunities, and connect travel activity to NIL impact, private aviation becomes more relevant to the modern college sports audience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

REDEFINING GAME DAY TRAVEL<\/b><\/h2>\n

Game Day Private Jets was built to solve one of the biggest friction points in college sports: getting to and from games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of the most passionate college football environments are located in markets where commercial flights are limited, hotels are expensive or unavailable, and weekend logistics create unnecessary barriers for fans, alumni, donors, and families.<\/span><\/p>\n

Game Day\u2019s platform is designed to make private aviation more practical by organizing demand around school communities and specific game schedules. Through the platform, users can create a free account, connect with school-specific travel communities, request private charters, explore shared flight opportunities, and access by-the-seat Game Day Shuttle experiences for select games.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the center of the model is Same Day Game Day XP \u2014 the ability to fly private to a game, arrive close to kickoff, and return home the same day. Select shuttle opportunities are expected to start from approximately $1,250 per person, creating a premium travel option that may reduce the need for hotels, rental cars, and extended weekend travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

UNITED ATHLETE SPORTS<\/b><\/h2>\n

The partnership with Olano was facilitated by United Athlete Sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGame Day is innovating in a space that makes perfect sense \u2014 travel, fan engagement, and NIL,\u201d said Beau Thompson of United Athlete Sports. \u201cWe see how hard student-athletes like David work, and we also see how difficult it can be for families and fans to get to games in College Station and across the SEC. This platform creates real value, and we\u2019re excited for David to be part of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

THE GAME DAY IMPACT JET CARD<\/b><\/h2>\n

Olano will also help create awareness for the Game Day Impact Jet Card, a private travel program designed for donors, fans, businesses, and supporters who want their travel dollars to go further.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Impact Jet Card is available in $100,000, $250,000, and $500,000 tiers, with a portion allocated toward school-aligned impact and NIL opportunities. Cardholders receive access to Game Day FlexFunds for private charters, Game Day Shuttles, shared flights, and curated travel experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike traditional fixed-rate jet cards, the Game Day Impact Jet Card is built around dynamic charter pricing, aircraft optionality, and curated game day travel planning \u2014 allowing members to access aircraft based on the mission, group size, routing, and schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n

The structure is designed to give buyers more flexibility while creating a new channel of support for student-athletes and college athletics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Game Day Private Jets","og_description":"June 16, 2026 [Houston, TX] \u2014 Game Day Private Jets (\u201cGame Day\u201d), the private travel platform built for college athletics, today announced David Olano as the second student-athlete added to the Game Day Athletes roster. Olano, a Texas A&M football student-athlete and former Illinois kicker, joins Game Day as an Athlete Ambassador and will help promote the company\u2019s growing platform of private travel memberships, by-the-seat Game Day Shuttle opportunities, and the Game Day Impact Jet Card. The partnership continues Game Day\u2019s broader strategy of connecting fans, donors, alumni, families, and student-athletes through premium game day travel experiences. GAME DAY ATHLETES: BUILT AROUND THE EXPERIENCE The Game Day Athletes platform is designed to create meaningful NIL opportunities through storytelling, content, fan engagement, and real-world travel experiences tied to college sports. As a Game Day Athlete Ambassador, Olano will participate in social media content, fan-facing campaigns, membership promotion, shuttle awareness, and select Game Day activations built around the 2026 college football season. \u201cGame day is what makes college football special,\u201d said Olano. \u201cThe energy, the travel, the fans, the moments before and after the game \u2014 it all matters. I\u2019m excited to be kicking it with Game Day Private Jets and helping show fans that there are new ways to get to games, connect with their community, and be part of something bigger.\u201d SPOTLIGHT: DAVID OLANO Olano has built his reputation through consistency, preparation, and performance in pressure moments. A two-time All-Big Ten honoree and Academic All-Big Ten selection, Olano connected on 20 of 23 field goal attempts and all 44 extra points during the 2025 season, while also delivering a walk-off, game-winning field goal in a bowl victory. Beyond the numbers, Olano represents the type of student-athlete Game Day is building around \u2014 disciplined, focused, academically committed, and positioned to connect authentically with fans in the modern NIL landscape. \u201cDavid is exactly the kind of athlete we want representing Game Day,\u201d said Luis Garcia, Founder & CEO of Game Day Private Jets. \u201cHe is prepared, reliable, and understands what it means to show up when it matters. That fits our platform perfectly. We are not just looking for athletes with visibility; we are building around student-athletes who can help tell a bigger story about travel, access, family, and the college game day experience.\u201d \u201cKICKING IT WITH GAME DAY\u201d As part of the partnership, Olano will help lead the \u201cKicking It With Game Day\u201d campaign \u2014 a content and fan engagement initiative focused on making premium game day travel feel more accessible, more social, and more connected to the college athletics community. The campaign will highlight three core Game Day opportunities: Game Day Memberships Fans, alumni, and donors can join the Game Day platform to connect with other supporters, request private charters, propose shared flights, and access preferred opportunities around home and away games. Game Day Shuttles Game Day is building by-the-seat, same-day private travel experiences that allow fans to fly to major games and return home the same day \u2014 avoiding commercial travel headaches, hotel compression, rental cars, and full-weekend travel friction. \u00a0Game Day Impact Jet Card The Game Day Impact Jet Card gives donors, fans, and businesses a private travel solution that also creates measurable impact for college athletics through NIL-focused allocations, ongoing flight impact contributions, and school-aligned opportunities. \u201cDavid gives us a great voice to tell the story in a fun, approachable way,\u201d Garcia added. \u201cWhen fans can organize by school, share aircraft, access by-the-seat opportunities, and connect travel activity to NIL impact, private aviation becomes more relevant to the modern college sports audience.\u201d REDEFINING GAME DAY TRAVEL Game Day Private Jets was built to solve one of the biggest friction points in college sports: getting to and from games. Many of the most passionate college football environments are located in markets where commercial flights are limited, hotels are expensive or unavailable, and weekend logistics create unnecessary barriers for fans, alumni, donors, and families. Game Day\u2019s platform is designed to make private aviation more practical by organizing demand around school communities and specific game schedules. Through the platform, users can create a free account, connect with school-specific travel communities, request private charters, explore shared flight opportunities, and access by-the-seat Game Day Shuttle experiences for select games. At the center of the model is Same Day Game Day XP \u2014 the ability to fly private to a game, arrive close to kickoff, and return home the same day. Select shuttle opportunities are expected to start from approximately $1,250 per person, creating a premium travel option that may reduce the need for hotels, rental cars, and extended weekend travel. UNITED ATHLETE SPORTS The partnership with Olano was facilitated by United Athlete Sports. \u201cGame Day is innovating in a space that makes perfect sense \u2014 travel, fan engagement, and NIL,\u201d said Beau Thompson of United Athlete Sports. \u201cWe see how hard student-athletes like David work, and we also see how difficult it can be for families and fans to get to games in College Station and across the SEC. This platform creates real value, and we\u2019re excited for David to be part of it.\u201d THE GAME DAY IMPACT JET CARD Olano will also help create awareness for the Game Day Impact Jet Card, a private travel program designed for donors, fans, businesses, and supporters who want their travel dollars to go further. The Impact Jet Card is available in $100,000, $250,000, and $500,000 tiers, with a portion allocated toward school-aligned impact and NIL opportunities. Cardholders receive access to Game Day FlexFunds for private charters, Game Day Shuttles, shared flights, and curated travel experiences.\u00a0 Unlike traditional fixed-rate jet cards, the Game Day Impact Jet Card is built around dynamic charter pricing, aircraft optionality, and curated game day travel planning \u2014 allowing members to access aircraft based on the mission, group size, routing, and schedule. The structure is designed to give buyers more flexibility while creating a new channel of support for student-athletes and college athletics.
