Hartford also will have advertising, marketing, promotional and licensing rights at a total of 88 NCAA national championships in 23 sports, including women's basketball, baseball, ice hockey, and golf.
Hartford also will continue the Playbook for Life program, which provides personal financial education for student athletes.
