TheLinkU and NIL Sports Attorney Mit Winter Partner to Launch First-Of-Its-Kind Revenue Share Execution Model for College Athletes

TheLinkU

TheLinkU, the premier NIL platform focused on simplifying and enhancing opportunities for college athletes and institutions, announced today its fully integrated revenue-sharing model and third-party program through strategic collaboration with renowned sports attorney Mit Winter. With almost two decades of experience focusing on sports law, Winter is one of the foremost experts and sought-after voices on the legal and regulatory issues in the ever-evolving NIL and college athletics landscape. The partnership is set to redefine collegiate athletics as it equips universities with the tools, legal frameworks, and cutting-edge technology necessary to implement effective revenue-sharing models. This will ensure that athletes are fairly compensated for their contributions to their colleges while maintaining integrity and compliance with a constantly shifting regulatory environment. The new offering comes at a pivotal moment in collegiate athletics, coinciding with the anticipated approval of the House settlement and the start of revenue sharing with student-athletes. “College athletics is on the brink of major transformation. This change brings new regulatory and compliance challenges, but it also presents an opportunity for universities to differentiate themselves in their support of athletes’ NIL efforts, in operational practices, and in revenue-sharing program structure,” said Winter. “I’m happy to help TheLinkU provide universities with solutions that streamline implementation, reduce costs, and drive operational efficiencies, allowing institutions to provide unmatched support for their athletes and navigate the changing landscape of college athletics with confidence and success.” TheLinkU's comprehensive and innovative SaaS revenue-sharing and General Manager (GM) platform models allow colleges to streamline and optimize opportunities for their athletes, making them easier to manage while ensuring the sustainability of their NIL programs. Focusing on compliance and athlete support, TheLinkU also fosters sustainable revenue generation for universities through more than 30 strategic business partnerships. By leveraging these partnerships, TheLinkU decreases the need for donor contributions and creates long-term financial opportunities, enabling athletic departments to achieve NIL success while maintaining financial stability. "College administrators and athletic directors are increasingly facing uphill challenges involving financial, legal, regulatory, and commercial unknowns as they try to put together competitive teams on the field or court,” said Austin Elrod, founder and president of TheLinkU. “As the entire market seemingly shifts weekly, the administrators that progressively look to technology to integrate opportunities and remain compliant will create a strategic advantage against the administrators trying to operate as they did in a pre-NIL world. Mit is an institution and a true pioneer in the NIL marketplace. By combining his legal and regulatory expertise and TheLinkU’s market-leading technology, we’ve created the most comprehensive solution that prioritizes compliance, fairness, and financial empowerment for athletes nationwide."

Introducing Saint Crewe, The New Clinically-Tested Skincare Brand For Gen Z Founded by Mom & Therapist to College-Aged Women, Erin Piper

Saint Crewe

Saint Crewe is a new dermatologist-tested, clinically backed skincare line designed specifically for Gen Z. Clinically tested on over 100 people, Saint Crewe is hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The brand’s four new products meet the clean beauty standards of Ulta, Sephora, and Credo while celebrating skincare as a fun, confidence-boosting ritual. As a mother of two and a therapist working with college-aged women, Saint Crewe Founder Erin Piper saw firsthand Gen Z’s growing curiosity about skincare and beauty trends. She realized that they were drawn to viral TikTok-famous products with bright, fun packaging, and the joy of experimenting with self-care. The issue? During the fun of applying face masks and creating skincare routines, the aggressive skincare ingredients were being overlooked. Many of these products contained harsh actives like retinol and glycolic acid – ingredients that weren’t suitable for their young skin. Saint Crewe Founder, Erin Piper, says, “As a mom and therapist to college-aged women, I’ve seen firsthand how much Gen Z loves experimenting with skincare. But there are too many trending products that cause more harm than good for young skin – damaged skin barriers, breakouts, irritation, you name it. That’s why I wanted to create a brand that is clinically effective, but still safe for everyday use. As a parent who has to say ‘no’ to so much – no to social media, to phones, to harmful ingredients, it feels really great to say ‘yes’ to skincare.” Erin sought out to create the ultimate solution to these concerns for the Gen Z community. She collaborated with leading labs, dermatologists, creatives, and beauty industry veterans – including the CEO of Saint Crewe, her long-time friend and skincare product development expert, Laura-Lucia Carothers – to develop a stunning range of vegan and cruelty-free skincare products that nurture this sense of curiosity while being expertly formulated to be gentle and safe for all skin types. Clean Beam Balmy Dream ($32): Lush cleansing balm formula that melts onto the skin as a foamy rinse-off cleanser that can remove sunscreen, makeup, and grime while bisabolol, ginger and calming turmeric soothes the skin. Team Gleam ($38): Daily water-gel serum that is loaded with superfruit goji berry and microalgae, helping balance the microbiome and fight against harmful blue light from screen time. Water Whip ($42): Light gel cream that delivers deep hydration and a natural glow with a boost of marine algae extract and vitamin E while soothing skin. Goji Go + Glow ($44): Packed with powerful aloe juice, microalgae and goji superberries to help keep breakouts at bay, this super mist balances excess oil while supporting your skin's microbiome. The brand’s name pays tribute to both a cherished family name and Sara Crewe, the beloved protagonist of A Little Princess. Saint Crewe isn’t just skincare, it’s innovation that redefines skincare for the next generation and anyone seeking a playful new way to care for their skin. Saint Crewe is redefining skincare for the next generation with fun, approachable, and age-appropriate formulas designed specifically for Gen Z. More than just skincare, Saint Crewe creates an experience, one that evolves with the brand’s community and becomes a playful part of their well-being. Built on the pillars of safety, individuality, integrity, well-being, and experience, Saint Crewe is committed to gentle formulations that nurture young skin with confidence and transparency. Trends fade. Skincare stays. With Saint Crewe, skincare isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling your best, inside and out. It will always be you.

Coolidge Reagan Foundation Files Congressional Ethics, FEC, and DOJ Criminal Complaints Against Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Coolidge Reagan Foundation

The Coolidge Reagan Foundation (CRF), a First Amendment watchdog, has filed a series of complaints against Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), alleging serious ethical and legal violations, including voter intimidation, fraudulent campaign contributions, and misconduct in office. The complaints, simultaneously submitted to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), expose Rep. Crockett’s alleged illegal activities and efforts to undermine fair elections and democratic processes. “Rep. Crockett’s reckless rhetoric and open encouragement of political violence are not only unacceptable but dangerously irresponsible, stated Shaun McCutcheon, Chairman of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation. “While I am an advocate for Free Speech, the fact is no Member of Congress should be inciting attacks on American voters. You can’t call on your supporters to attack people any more than you can yell fire in a crowded theater. Her actions must be condemned and investigated.” “This is a blatant abuse of power and a direct assault on free and fair elections,” Dan Backer, Counsel to CRF added. “From voter intimidation to potentially fraudulent campaign financing, Rep. Crockett’s conduct raises serious legal and ethical concerns. The American people deserve accountability, and Crockett must answer for her unethical, potentially criminal, and just plain dirty acts.” The complaint filed with the Department of Justice highlights Rep. Crockett’s alarming rhetoric and online activity, which appear to violate the Federal Voting Rights Act prohibiting voter intimidation. On March 9, 2025, Crockett circulated an animated video through social media depicting a cartoon version of herself and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brutally attacking a Republican voter. This video, broadcast to hundreds of thousands of her followers, not only condones but seemingly encourages political violence against Republicans. Her public statements, including referring to "full-on combat," further demonstrate a pattern of incitement that places American voters at risk. CRF is calling on the DOJ to investigate these actions under 52 U.S.C. § 10307(b) and other applicable federal statutes. CRF's complaint to the FEC details an apparent scheme in which Rep. Crockett’s campaign committee, ‘Jasmine for US’, accepted and falsely reported contributions processed through ActBlue. The filing reveals that an elderly retiree, Mr. Randy Best of Plano, Texas, was listed as making over 2,500 contributions totaling more than $21,000 – including more than 50 to Crockett (transactions that Mr. Best’s wife denies ever occurred). The sheer volume and pattern of these donations suggest an elaborate money-laundering scheme orchestrated through ActBlue to funnel illegal contributions to Democratic candidates, including Rep. Crockett. CRF demands an immediate FEC investigation into these violations of 52 U.S.C. § 30122, which prohibits accepting contributions in the name of, or with the funds of, another. In addition to potential criminal and campaign finance violations, CRF has also filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics, asserting that Rep. Crockett has engaged in behavior that fails to reflect creditably on the U.S. House of Representatives. Her public threats against Republican officials, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and former President Donald Trump (paired with the incendiary video) constitute a clear violation of House Rule XXIII, which mandates ethical conduct by Members. Furthermore, her acceptance of potentially fraudulent contributions through ActBlue raises serious concerns about her fitness for office and adherence to congressional financial disclosure requirements. Shaun McCutcheon further emphasized the seriousness of the complaints stating “Congresswoman Crockett’s actions are a disgrace to the office she holds. Inciting violence against political opponents and engaging in fraudulent campaign finance practices are violations that cannot be ignored. CRF will not stand idly by while elected officials break the law and erode trust in our institutions.” Dan Backer added “We have seen a disturbing trend where ActBlue is used as a willing conduit for a potentially 8 or 9 figure sum of illegal campaign money laundering, and Rep. Crockett’s campaign is just one example. The FEC must investigate this apparent scheme to launder funds in the names of unsuspecting donors. Additionally, her rhetoric and public statements demand a full review by the DOJ for potential voter intimidation violations.” CRF calls for swift action to hold Rep. Crockett accountable and protect the integrity of our democratic process. The news of these complaints was first reported by Fred Lucas in the Daily Signal. ### Please visit: https://www.coolidgereagan.org/ For more information or to schedule an interview with a CRF spokesperson, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details Coolidge Reagan Foundation Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://www.coolidgereagan.org/

Lake Tahoe to Host First-Ever Grand Slam of Curling Event in the US, Featuring the Best Curlers from Around the World

The Curling Group

The Curling Group (TCG), the driving force behind the evolution of curling through strategic investment and fan engagement, today announced that Lake Tahoe will host the first-ever Grand Slam of Curling event in the United States, the GSOC Tahoe, November 4-9, 2025, at the Tahoe Blue Event Center. Lake Tahoe will become the epicenter of the curling world as Olympic medalists, world champions and fan favorites take the ice for this must-see six-day event, which will include live music, fan activations, and interactive experiences set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Tahoe. “In addition to being one of the most beautiful places in the world, Lake Tahoe also has a rich history of hosting some of the most iconic sports events,” said Nic Sulsky, Co-Founder and CEO of The Curling Group. “We were inspired by the energy and success of the 2021 NHL Outdoor Games and the American Century Championship and are creating a one-of-a-kind curling event that captures that same sense of excitement and national appeal. Our goal is to make this a marquee moment on the curling calendar for years to come.” Across the U.S., interest in curling has grown exponentially over the past several years, prompted by the 2018 Olympic Winter Games gold medal win by Minnesota-based Team Shuster. The rise in curling’s popularity in the U.S. is reflected in the interest of pro athletes and celebrities, including Pro Football Hall of Famer and Minnesota Vikings Legend Jared Allen and current NFL stars George Kittle and TJ Hockenson, who are all a part of TCG’s initial group of investors. “The first-ever U.S. GSOC event is a long time coming, as the country’s appetite for curling continues to grow,” Sulsky added. “While our sport has a strong foundation in Canada and parts of Europe, it has yet to reach its full potential in the United States. Our mission is to change that by creating must-attend events that captivate fans, introduce new audiences to the sport, and elevate curling to new levels not yet seen.” The Lake Tahoe event comes as part of a larger initiative to grow the sport’s presence within the U.S., including the upcoming TCG All-Star Game in Nashville (April 15-16, 2025); a first-of-its-kind event featuring the sport’s biggest stars, selected through performance rankings and fan voting. The weekend will feature a celebrity pro-am, skills competition, and All-Star skins game with the best 12 curlers in the world, bringing fans closer to the action. “We’re honored to welcome the Grand Slam of Curling to Lake Tahoe for its first-ever U.S. event. The South Shore has long been a destination where world-class athletes and fans come together in a setting unlike any other. We’re proud to host an event that combines athletic excellence and high-energy entertainment to create awe-inspiring moments.” Says Visit Lake Tahoe President & CEO Carol Chaplin. Tickets for GSOC Tahoe will go on sale April 7 th at 10am pst. Discounted rates will be available for local Nevada and California residents in person at the Vacasa Box Office at the Tahoe Blue Event Center. Fans can stay updated on ticketing details, event schedules, and exclusive content by visiting www.thegrandslamofcurling.com/tickets or following the Grand Slam of Curling on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X. More details — including broadcast information, confirmed teams, and draw schedules — will be announced in the coming months. For more information, visit https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/.

LA GOLF AND BRYSON DECHAMBEAU LAUNCH NEW DRIVER

LA GOLF

LA GOLF, the industry leader in cutting-edge golf innovation, is proud to announce the launch of its first-ever driver with Face ID technology. Co-designed by two-time U.S. Open Champion Bryson DeChambeau and LA GOLF Chief Design Officer Jeff Meyer, this groundbreaking driver introduces a patented fitting system that matches both the face and shaft to your swing speed, significantly cutting side spin and making even your misses go straighter. “Bryson’s big idea to make the curve of the face proportionate to swing speed is cutting side spin off the toe and heel almost in half, essentially turning your slice into a fade and hook into a draw,” said Reed Dickens, Founder and CEO of LA GOLF, “and the exciting part is that is works for all swing speeds.” DeChambeau summed up his partnership with LA GOLF by saying, “I have been on a decade long journey to solve for every possible variable with my equipment. Jeff Meyer is the most creative engineer I have ever worked with, and Reed is a proven disruptor and risk taker. That is a rare combination in the golf space, and the driver is the result of that dynamic.” The LA GOLF Driver is the first to pair the curvature of the face (bulge and roll) and shaft to match your swing speed. The revolutionary Face ID technology significantly reduces side spin off the heel and toe by nearly 50%, transforming slices into fades and hooks into draws, giving golfers confidence on the course. LA GOLF’s driver comes standard with their premium A series shafts, optimized for your swing straight out of the box. Bryson’s Design, Your Swing. The LA GOLF Driver is now available for purchase, visit LAGOLF.com to learn more and secure your custom-fit driver today. About LA GOLF LA GOLF’s pro player, anti-establishment DNA has made it the most provocative brand in golf by partnering with the world’s greatest players, using unique performance-enhancing materials, and taking a playful brand position. The governing bodies have made golf virtually unplayable for the average player due to the complex rules and equipment. LA GOLF is the only company with the technology and brand to make golf fun again for everyday players. In just a few years, LA GOLF has partnered with Bryson DeChambeau to develop the most innovative club face and shaft technology that cures the slice and the hook— something other companies have been promising for decades but have yet to deliver. LA GOLF was founded by Reed Dickens with a pro player, anti-establishment philosophy — the same playbook he used to make Marucci the most disruptive brand in baseball. “LA GOLF is ultimately a middle finger to the establishment who constantly tries to make golf more difficult and less fun. Simultaneously building a manufacturing company with innovative designs AND a global lifestyle brand with social currency is difficult, but damn are we having fun.” -Reed Dickens, LA GOLF Founder & CEO For more information on LA GOLF products, visit LAGOLF.com.
