The Athletics Revenue Flywheel:
From Travel Expense to Profit Center
In today’s collegiate athletics landscape, the challenges facing your athletic department and your team’s success are more interconnected than ever. You’re not just competing for championships; you’re competing for revenue, donor loyalty, and the attention of your most passionate fans. The Game Day Private Jets REVUP Program is a strategic solution designed to address all three.
This isn’t just about chartering jets to games. It’s a community-based travel platform that creates a new financial channel and deepens the bond with your strongest supporters in a transformational way. Game Day Private Jets is the only provider to offer a complete, self-sustaining solution that combines:
- A New Revenue Stream for Your Department: We’ve created a unique revenue-sharing model that transforms private travel from an expense into a profitable enterprise. When your fans and boosters use the platform, your department directly benefits. We handle all the logistics, allowing you to focus on strategy and execution.
- Unrivaled Donor Experiences and Fan Engagement: As a Chief Revenue Officer or Head of Fan Experience, you know that loyalty is built on unforgettable moments. The REVUP Program empowers you to offer a premium, curated travel experience that strengthens the connection between your university and its top donors, season ticket holders, and alumni. It’s a powerful new way to reward your most loyal supporters and attract new ones.
- A Strategic Recruiting and NIL Tool: We understand that most athletic departments have already made multi-million dollar investments with fractional providers and jet card programs. The REVUP Program isn’t here to replace those relationships for coaches travel. Instead, our platform can serve as a value-added supplemental service for those last-minute, time-sensitive trips, or for situations that fall outside the rules or fleet sizing of your current program. This offers your coaches and recruiters additional travel flexibility when they need it most, without the pressure of a long-term commitment. Our platform also provides a unique, first-class benefit for your student-athletes, enhancing your recruiting efforts and NIL strategy.
- Beyond the Sponsorship: A Transformative Partnership: In a world of fleeting sponsorships and short-term cash infusions, the REVUP Program offers a deeper, more meaningful partnership. We understand that your most loyal fans, donors, and alumni are your lifeblood, and their commitment deserves more than just a logo on a jumbotron. This is about providing them with a platform that delivers real value—an exclusive private travel experience they can share with a community of fellow supporters. We break down the barriers of traditional private aviation, making it accessible to thousands of families who want to fly to more games and stay connected with their university. We work hand-in-hand with your sports properties to ensure complete alignment, creating a seamless program that drives revenue directly to your athletic department while supporting your student-athletes in a truly innovative way. This partnership is designed to pull on the heartstrings, strengthening the bonds of your community and turning every journey into a shared experience of loyalty and passion.
Game Day Private Jets understands that the needs of your constituents are constantly evolving. Our platform is designed to evolve with them, providing a solution that delivers both financial growth and unmatched experiential benefits.
The Challenge
Bridging the Gap in Revenue & Engagement
NIL Funding Demands
Student-athletes require diverse and sustainable funding streams that align with NCAA regulations and build strong university ties.
Donor Fatigue
Traditional fundraising can wear thin and top donors may be hesitant to provide additional donations due to players tranferring and other key factors. Schools must attract new key donors through value generation.
Evolving Engagement Models
Schools need fresh, impactful ways to connect with alumni, increase engagement, and offer exclusive benefits.
Commercial Travel Pain Points
Alumni face increasing frustrations with commercial flight hassles – long lines, delays, and rigid schedules – limiting their ability to attend games and key university engagements.
High Private Charter Costs
Traditional private jet charters to football or other university travel weekends remains cost-prohibitive for many, even highly affluent alumni, making it an infrequent option.
The Solution:

Common Concerns We Hear—and Why They're Not Concerns
1. Most of Our Donors Already Own Private Jets
While a small group of your top donors may own jets or have fractional ownership, our primary focus is the untapped demographic of thousands of affluent alumni and fans—families with significant disposable income who are constrained by busy schedules. These individuals aren’t in a position to buy a jet or charter individual flights covering the full cost, but they could realistically afford to pay ~$1,500 per person for a shared, same-day private charter.
Consider the scale of your fan base. For a major football program that seats 70,000-100,000 fans in a game, that could be 5,000-10,000 potential users from your stadium’s general attendance. The REVUP Program makes premium travel accessible and efficient for suite holders, season ticket holders, and dedicated followers who want experiential perks. With just a modest percentage of your alumni base, adoption can create a ripple effect, with participants sharing their stories and creating a powerful new community.
The ultimate beneficiaries are your athletic department and the student-athletes. Every membership sale, charter booking, and shared flight generates ongoing revenue through uncapped rebates, directly funding NIL initiatives and program growth without relying on traditional donations.
2. Our Alumni Are Tapped Out. They’ve Given All They Can Afford
This perception often stems from donor fatigue, but the reality is quite the opposite: Your alumni aren’t lacking funds—they’re seeking fresh, compelling reasons to invest more in their alma mater through meaningful experiences.
The REVUP Program taps into this by offering premium, aspirational perks like private jet access, VIP “Fly Away” promotions, and exclusive communities that create buzz and exclusivity. Alumni crave connections that go beyond routine asks—experiences that blend convenience, camaraderie, and school pride. With options like discounted memberships and shared charters, we make high-end travel affordable for busy professionals, turning occasional attendees into loyal advocates. The result? Increased gifting at higher levels, stronger community ties, and sustained revenue that bolsters your athletics without straining budgets.
3. We already have a contract with a private jet company for Athletics and recruitment travel.
The REVUP Program is not designed to replace your existing provider for team, coach, or recruitment travel; however it can serve as a valuable supplement to enhance your current strategy. We often find ourselves working in parallel with these contracts.
We understand that even the best contracts have their limits. Our platform provides the additional flexibility you need for those last-minute, time-sensitive trips or when you require a different size aircraft outside of your primary provider’s fleet. We’re here to be an extra resource for your coaches and recruiters, not your sole provider.
Ultimately, your existing contract doesn’t serve your fans, donors, and alumni. That’s where REVUP shines. Our core focus is on providing a platform for the community, creating new revenue streams and shared travel perks that are simply not available anywhere else. It’s a win-win: your athletics department gets enhanced flexibility for travel, and your most loyal fans get a truly unique, valuable experience that strengthens their bond with the school.
