The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has agreed to a contract extension with BSN SPORTS for the next six years, Director of Athletics Todd Garzarelli announced.
 
Nike will continue to outfit the Warhawks, who have claimed 19 national championships all time and have finished among the top 15 in NCAA Division III in the Learfield Directors' Cup in each of the last 10 years.
 
The contract became effective retroactive to December 1, 2017.
 
"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with BSN SPORTS and Nike," Garzarelli said. "With this new contract, our student-athletes will be outfitted in the finest athletic apparel, equipment and footwear. We believe this partnership further strengthens the Warhawk Athletics brand and enhances our relentless pursuit of excellence in all we do.

"This strategic partnership will benefit each student-athlete on the field or court by outfitting them with the finest apparel and athletic gear. We are pleased that we can elevate the student-athlete experience and are proud to be their partner."
