HOUSTON – University of Houston Athletics and Live Life Healthy (LLH) Healthcare announced a significant multi-year partnership on Thursday that aligns two brands focused on the health and wellness of their communities. As part of the agreement, LLH Healthcare becomes the official naming rights partner of the Houston indoor track facility, which will now be known as the LLH Healthcare Indoor Track.
 
This partnership strengthens UH’s commitment to providing student-athletes with world-class resources while highlighting LLH Healthcare’s dedication to advancing health, wellness and innovation across the Greater Houston area.
 
“We wanted to do something different and outside the box with this partnership with LLH Healthcare,” Vice President for Athletics Eddie Nuñez said. “We believe this collaborative partnership between Houston Athletics and LLH raises the bar for health and wellness in our community and in our athletics department. This partnership also bolsters our historic track and field program and continues to improve the facilities needed for our track and field athletes to compete at their best. LLH is another great example of a valued partner who sees the whole picture plan and supports Houston Athletics in every facet from NIL to facilities.”
 
The LLH Healthcare Indoor Track hosts multiple professional, collegiate, high school, youth and all-comers meets every year with thousands of athletes competing at the highest level. Houston’s indoor track was installed ahead of the 2019 season and includes a six-lane, 200-meter banked oval and an eight-lane straightaway for 60-meter hurdles and sprints. The installation also includes two horizontal jump runways with sand pits and two pole vault runways, boxes and pits.
 

“I’m so excited about the partnership with Live Life Healthy,” Track & Field Head Coach Carl Lewis said. “It’s such an important message to people of all ages, and the support that we’re getting from the community is incredible. This partnership is going to benefit the entire City of Houston, not just the University of Houston.”
 
Another key component to the partnership includes a Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) program that will directly support University of Houston student-athletes.  LLH Healthcare will collaborate with selected athletes to promote a “Live Life Healthy” initiative.
 
“Partnering with the University of Houston reflects exactly who we are: committed to elevating health, performance, and opportunity for the communities we serve,” says Zachary Rogers, CEO of LLH Healthcare. “Under the legendary leadership of Coach Carl Lewis, UH has built a culture defined by speed, discipline, and excellence. The LLH Healthcare Indoor Track is more than a name—it’s an investment in Houston’s future and a commitment to supporting student-athletes with the same innovative, preventative-care approach we deliver to employers across the region. We’re proud to stand with UH as they shape tomorrow’s leaders.”
 
LLH Healthcare provides employees and their families with a preventative health plan that offers zero-cost health benefits.  LLH Healthcare aims to maintain a healthy workforce through a comprehensive approach to health management by utilizing services such as telemedicine, genomics screenings and lab testing, coaching and more.
 
With this commitment, LLH Healthcare becomes the Official Employee Benefits Partner of Houston Cougar Athletics, as well as a member of the Nantz Leadership Society.
 
“This is an exciting time for UH Athletics across all of our programs and it’s a privilege to partner with an innovative company like LLH Healthcare on the new renovations for the Indoor Track Facility to enhance our student-athlete experience,” said Shane Hildreth, General Manager of Houston Cougars Sports Properties.

BYU freshman outside hitter Suli Davis has entered the transfer portal with a “do not contact” tag, sources told On3.

Davis was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year. She averaged 4.5 kills per set and hit .267 this year. Davis also put up a season-high 28 kills in back-to-back matches against Arizona and Utah.

Transfer portal background information

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.

The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.

The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such asynchronous contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.

A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.

Track transfer portal activity

While the NCAA Transfer Portal database is private, the On3 Network has streamlined the reporting process tracking player movement. If you find yourself asking, ‘How can I track transfer portal activity?’ our well-established network of reporters and contacts across college athletics keeps you up to speed in several ways, from articles written about players as they enter and exit the transfer portal or find their new destination, to our social media channels, to the On3 Transfer Portal.

The transfer portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking and original On3 Industry recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image and likeness).

The On3 Transfer Portal Rankings allow for you to filter the On3 Industry Rankings to find the best of the best in the portal, starting with Overall Top Players. 

The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and Twitter account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.
