CHICO, Calif. — Chico State Athletics has announced an innovative new partnership, becoming the latest in a recent surge of departments to sign an agreement with FanWord, the leader in AI-powered written content for college sports.

The three-year agreement with FanWord brings the company's flagship product, FanWord Assist, into its communications operation.

Primarily built for sports information departments, FanWord Assist helps create game recaps, award nominations, player bios, feature stories, and other digital storytelling content much more efficiently, giving the Chico State community a unique look beyond the uniform of its student-athletes and programs.

"Chico State Athletics has built a championship tradition over many years, and we are always looking for innovative ways to showcase that legacy. Our new partnership with FanWord will allow us to enhance the storytelling while staying focused on what matters most: celebrating our student-athletes, coaches, alumni and our Wildcat Family," said Eric Coleman, Chico State Executive Athletics Director.

Chico State becomes the third CCAA institution to partner with FanWord, alongside Cal State Monterey Bay and Fresno Pacific. Across California, it joins programs like UC San Diego, Southern California, and UC Davis — part of a network of more than 225 athletics organizations on the platform across all levels of the industry.

"Chico State has spent decades as a strong program in Division II. That kind of sustained success gives a communications team a lot to write about, every season, for 13 sports," said Chris Aumueller, CEO of FanWord. "FanWord Assist lets departments of any size keep pace, allowing the Wildcats to tell a new generation of championship stories."
