MIAMI — FIU Athletics has signed a multi-year partnership with FanWord, the leading AI technology & storytelling company in college sports.

FanWord Assist — the company's flagship AI-powered communication software — will assist the Panthers' communications efforts across every varsity program for the next three years. The platform speeds up the creation of game recaps, player bios, staff bios, feature stories, transcriptions, player of the week stories, weekly nominations, and other digital content to drive efficiency and support fundraising and community engagement. FanWord Assist gives FIU full editorial oversight of every word produced, ensuring that all content reflects the FIU brand and standards.

"We are excited to partner with FanWord and leverage their innovative technology to further enhance the way we tell the stories of our student-athletes, coaches, and programs," said Darin Yrigoyen, Assistant AD for Strategic and Brand Communications at FIU. "As we continue to emphasize the importance of optimizing our workflows and creating efficiencies within our department, FanWord Assist will be a valuable resource that allows our team to focus more time and energy on developing meaningful content that connects with our community. This partnership will help us better serve our student-athletes, coaches, and Panther Nation by sharing more of the stories that make FIU Athletics special."

FIU joins a network of more than 225 athletics organizations using FanWord, standing alongside programs like Liberty, Florida State, FGCU, Stetson, Colorado, and USC. 

"As a major-market athletic department, FIU has an exciting opportunity to lead the way in storytelling," said Chris Aumueller, CEO of FanWord. "We're proud to partner with them and help their team tell impactful stories both on and off the playing field."

In today's college sports landscape, storytelling is one of the most critical aspects of NIL, fundraising, and other strategic objectives.
