It is truly an honor to join the National Football Foundation Board of Trustees, under the respected leadership of Chairman Archie Manning and President & CEO Steven J. Hatchell, along with the incredible Board of Trustees and Officers. Since its founding in 1947, the NFF has championed the best in our game. For us, sports and business have always paralleled the same tenets … teamwork, perseverance, leadership and most of all … character. Sports shape lives far beyond the field … and having served two full terms on the licensing board of @NFLPA, our appreciation and love for the game has only grown deeper. What truly drew our company to @NFFNetwork is their incredible support for student athletes and a commitment to equipping them with the resources needed to plan for their future both on and off the field. We are so proud to be part of this community! 💙🏈

The NFF is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Rex Culpepper, a former @CuseFootball QB and the son of 1991 NFF Campbell Trophy recipient Brad Culpepper (@GatorsFB). Our deepest condolences to Brad and the Culpepper family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. nbcnews.com/sports/college…

"Lou Holtz was a true giant in our game, not just because of the championships he won, but because of the lives he shaped," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. "He stood for discipline, faith, education and doing things the right way. College football is better because of Coach Holtz, and so are generations of young men who were fortunate enough to play for him. He leaves behind a legacy that will endure far beyond the scoreboard. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing." footballfoundation.org/news/2026/3/4/…
