USI athletics partners with TCG for jersey patch sponsorship

The University of Southern Indiana (USI) announced a six-year partnership with Mount Vernon-based TCG as its jersey patch sponsor worth $1 million. This deal, unveiled on August 12, covers all 19 of USI's athletic programs, making it the first in the Ohio Valley Conference to secure such an agreement. USI's athletic director Jon Mark Hall emphasized TCG's alignment with the university's values and commitment to student-athletes. The NCAA's new jersey patch policy for Division I programs took effect on August 1, prompting USI's search for a sponsor. Patches are expected to be ready for use in the coming weeks, as USI prepares to order around 1,000 of them.
