DIEHARD

THE STARTING 22

22 starters take the field every Saturday. That number is deliberate.

More than 60 college sports programs lost their professional coverage when the economics of local media collapsed. The fans stayed. The industry left.

Diehard Sports Network is building the infrastructure to bring it back — one market at a time. Every Starting 22 membership directly funds the training, tools and launch support that puts a local publisher on your school's campus with the resources to deliver professional-quality coverage.

Pay for one year — 12 monthly payments or one annual payment — and you're in for life. We never charge you again.

HOW IT WORKS

11

The greenlight. When a school reaches 11 Starting 22 members, that's the signal to onboard a publisher. Your membership is the demand signal that triggers the launch.

22

Full roster. The remaining 11 fund the publisher's ramp — the first months of content, community and operations. When all 22 seats are filled, the door closes.
