Episode Notes
What if you could own a real piece of UConn history?
On this episode, we sit down with Jay Sharman, CEO of CollectU, the company redefining sports memorabilia by transforming authentic stadium and locker room pieces into one-of-a-kind collectibles.
With UConn currently auctioning off items from Gampel Pavilion—including actual player lockers tied to iconic moments, Jay takes us behind the scenes of:
- How CollectU was founded and the vision behind turning “hidden” team assets into collectibles
- Why UConn became a perfect partner for this innovative concept
- The process of taking something like a locker and turning it into a fan-ready piece
- How they decide what items are worth preserving and selling
- Some of the most unique (and surprising) collectibles they’ve ever created
- And whether schools are starting to view collectibles as a serious revenue stream—or if this is just the beginning
