"We're expanding our partnership as we continue to engage in the LEARFIELD Allied program to connect school IP with student-athletes through NIL in Car Wash Convos™ Season 2," said Mark Youngworth, COO, ZIPS Car Wash. "With the addition of 10 NIL agreements this year, Season 2 will include 22 episodes airing on social platforms like YouTube and Instagram featuring interviews with male and female student-athletes representing football, basketball, baseball and Olympic sports like swimming and gymnastics from the universities of Arkansas, North Carolina, Memphis, Tennessee, and Texas," he added.

"We're excited to support the Tigers and their fanbase as we bring the University of Memphis into our commitment to collegiate sports," said Youngworth.
