Ex-Viking, Hawkeye Chad Greenway donates to rival Gophers' NIL fund

Greenway's Gray Duck Spirits presented a big donation to Dinkytown Athletes.

Former Vikings linebacker and team captain Chad Greenway may have played college football for one of Minnesota's top rivals, but his company Gray Duck Spirits recently donated $25,000 to the Gophers' official Name, Image, Likeness collective as part of their current

Greenway, who starred at Iowa in his college days before a decade-long NFL career, was part of the group that started Gray Duck Spirits. The company started out as a vodka brand but has since grown into producing other alcoholic beverages. For example, Dinkytown Athletes collaborated with them to create the Duck Duck Beer last season, and 20% of the sales go back into the NIL collective. So Greenway's partnership with Minnesota's NIL fund should not come as too much of a surprise.

Greenway played at Iowa from 2001-05 and was a perfect 5-0 against the Gophers during that time. Most of the games weren't even close, with only one of the matchups being within one score. After a ten-year career with the Vikings, the South Dakota native has adopted Minnesota as a second home. Dinkytown Athletes continues to do all it can to help Gopher athletics remain competitive in the ever-changing NIL landscape. Onthe athletic department and Dinkytown Athletes expanded their partnership to include the Golden Gopher Fund, which is just another way for fans to donate in support of Gopher athletes.

Schools like Ohio State or Michigan have astronomical athletic department budgets and the Gophers might never reach those levels, but they're doing all they can to remain competitive.
