The best gift here: Dinner is sorted out once a week, guaranteed.
Around 2,000 student-athletes who attend Ohio State, Georgia and Florida have scored free Chipotle courtesy of a mega-cool NIL deal between the food giant and three colleges.
It was announced Wednesday by Chipotle that all three universities’ student-athletes will be getting a customized card that will allow them to land one free entrée per week over a timeline of 15 weeks.

A similar NIL deal was debuted by Chipotle for Ohio State and their nearly 1,000 student-athletes in the 2024-25 school year. Here in 2025-26, Georgia and Florida are being added to the promotion.
Chris Brandt, the chief brand officer of Chipotle, branded the deal as “democratizing NIL for nearly 2,000 student athletes,” per Bleacher Report.
The NIL deal comes prior to the first season in the NCAA where universities can directly pay student-athletes.

Now I know what some of you might be thinking, the fact that Chipotle has been causing some serious stomach problems among college kids and even South Park made fun of Chipotle’s … *clears throat* … ways. But come on, how can you not like Chipotle?
Plus, it’s like I said earlier, you already have dinner — a complete annoyance to sort out — sorted out once a week.
I’m taking this deal.
