The Jeff Wyler Automotive Family has become the official jersey patch partner of University of Cincinnati football and men's basketball. The multi-year deal will make Wyler the largest corporate partner of Cincinnati Athletics.
The patch will debut this Saturday, Sept. 5, when UC welcomes Boston College for the football season-opener at Nippert Stadium.
“The Wyler family has built a reputation in this community through service, trust and a commitment to Greater Cincinnati for more than five decades,” UC director of athletics John Cunningham said. “Our student-athletes are proud to wear our city across their chests, and now one of our community's most recognizable family businesses will be part of that jersey as well.”
A 1965 University of Cincinnati College of Business graduate, Wyler opened his first dealership in 1973, beginning with a 20-car lot and growing the company into one of the nation's largest automotive dealership groups.
