I had someone reach out to me this afternoon to give me some more information behind two of the major players involved in the big NIL announcement set to be announced at the Chop House on 3/31.
One of those major players, Chin Weerappuli, is highly recommended by Jim Harbaugh and even comes with a letter of recommendation by the man himself.

Let's get started.
Chin Weerappuli
Chin Weerappuli serves as President of Hail! Impact. He is a two time graduate of the University of Michigan completing his BA in 2011 and MBA in 2022. In between degrees, Chin held a 10+ year career in Healthcare software consulting working for Epic Systems and Healthcare Control Systems. Chin was one of the first 15 recruited for the management consulting division at Epic that has grown to over 600.
In 2020 Chin also founded his first nonprofit organization – The Underdog Family – a volunteer-run 501c3 organization that provides technical resources to woman owned and BIPOC owned small businesses while taking care of 100% of the costs. Shortly after graduating from Michigan Ross in 2022, Chin entered the world of College Athletics, serving as the Assistant to Coach Harbaugh for the 2022 season. During that time, he also received an executive coaching certification from Northwestern University.
Chin absolutely bleeds Maize and Blue, having attended over 100 U of M sporting events across 15 States. He currently lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan where he enjoys hiking, pond hockey, skiing, and adding to his list of 40+ countries he’s visited across the world.
