Mavis played at George Washington University while Bunn played at Harvard University. Company Mission: To allow ALL student-athletes, including the 98% who won’t go pro, to monetize their NIL in the easiest way possible. Unique Attributes: 98Strong competes for the student-athlete while they compete in their sport.
