Colorado Buffaloes 99-year-old superfan Peggy Coppom receives historic NIL deal

The Colorado Buffaloes football season is less than ten days away with headlines coming faster than ever. One of the more heartfelt stories is Peggy Coppom’s unique NIL deal with Blenders. The 99-year-old shines everywhere she goes in Boulder. With the help of Deion Sanders, Coppom will be featured on her own sunglasses sleeve, a tribute to the Buffs superfan. 

“For over 80 years, Miss Peggy’s unwavering support has embodied true fandom,” Blenders wrote in a statement. “In a historic first, Miss Peggy is the first fan to receive a NIL deal, with $1 from each sleeve sold going to her—a small gesture for her lifetime of dedication. Miss Peggy’s legacy inspires not just players but entire generations.”

Colorado’s nearly century-old icon took on the identity of “drip queen” in February when she was accompanied by a few members of the Buffs offensive line. She hit the throne dressed in a CU bomber jacket from the Anthony Lawrence Collection, along with Blender Prime shades for a promotional shoot. It was a great moment caught by Well Off Media.
