HOUSTON - Oct. 29, 2025 - PRLog -- Game Day Private Jets, the unique membership community for affluent sports fans, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking REVUP Program. This initiative is a comprehensive private jet charter and experiential platform designed to create a self-sustaining revenue flywheel for athletic departments, working in tandem with alumni associations and student-athletes.
The REVUP Program moves beyond traditional, transactional sports sponsorships (such as a logo on a jumbotron or a short-term cash infusion) to deliver a holistic, long-term solution that provides tangible value to all stakeholders in this new NIL era.
"As a passionate fan of college sports, I recognize that athletic departments need more than just traditional fundraising; they need a system that builds value, community, and sustainable revenue," said Luis Garcia, Founder of Game Day Private Jets. "The single greatest pain point for many loyal alumni is the hassle of getting to games in hard-to-reach college towns, forcing them into frustrating commercial travel or making them miss games entirely. The REVUP Program is a strategic solution designed to address this by removing logistical headaches, increasing donor loyalty, and creating a new revenue channel. This is a game-changer for collegiate athletics."
Why REVUP is a True Game Changer
The REVUP Program is built on a "revenue flywheel" model, where every component supports and amplifies the others, ensuring a win-win-win for the university, its fans, and its athletes.
- Solving the Travel Pain Point: Our platform makes luxury private jet travel accessible and affordable by enabling alumni to connect through private travel groups to share the cost of charters. This directly addresses the frustrations of commercial travel and the isolation of hard-to-reach venues, fostering camaraderie and connection and turning occasional attendees into loyal advocates.
- Fueling New, Uncapped Revenue Streams: We partner with athletic departments on a unique, uncapped revenue-sharing model. Every time a fan, donor, or alumni purchases a membership or books a charter through the REVUP platform, a portion of that revenue is directed back to the athletic department. This creates a new, predictable financial channel that grows with engagement.
- A New Power Tool for Donors and NIL Collectives: The REVUP Program offers a truly unique gifting proposition. Donors can purchase a REVUP package—with investment options ranging from $50,000 to $500,000—and gift it directly to the university with potential tax benefits (consult with your CPA or tax advisor). This immediately provides the athletic department with charter flight credits, valuable NIL contributions, uncapped rebates on sales, and a private travel community for fans!
- Unrivaled Experiential Value: Packages include "Game Day Fly Away" promotional credits, allowing the university to run high-impact sweepstakes that provide fans with a VIP, same-day private jet experience and on-the-ground ticket packages. This is a powerful marketing tool that ignites social media buzz, strengthens brand loyalty, and attracts new supporters.
"We've identified a significant gap in the market. The REVUP Program is not meant to replace existing jet card or fractional programs used for recruiting; it is designed to be a value-added platform that complements existing solutions, giving staff additional travel flexibility when needed," said Ross Flurry, VP Strategy and Development at Game Day Private Jets. "Our core mission is to serve the thousands of affluent families who can't justify the full cost of a charter alone. We connect them through jet sharing in local community groups, with costs starting as low as $1,250 per person for a same-day roundtrip, transforming private travel into a sustainable revenue source for the athletic department. This is the first true win-win-win model in private aviation."
Partnership Details
The REVUP Program offers four flexible packages, built to support athletic departments of all sizes, with a limited number of National Champion packages available for 2025.
"Our partnership is about much more than a transaction; it's about building a community that lasts," added Garcia. "We are a true partner dedicated to reshaping how people think about supporting their schools and flying private to games."
