From Buckets to Ben & Jerry’s: UNC’s Seth Trimble Scoops Up Franchise History
Seth Trimble just pulled off the ultimate crossover and no, we’re not talking about on the court. The 21-year-old UNC guard has gone from dropping dimes in the Dean Dome to dropping scoops behind the counter, officially becoming the youngest Ben & Jerry’s franchise owner in the country. Talk about a double-double: hoops and business.
A Different Kind of Ice
Most college stars use NIL money for cars, jewelry, or flashy endorsements. Trimble? He went straight for the ice but not the kind you wear. He bought into America’s favorite ice cream empire, securing a move that’s got Tar Heel Nation buzzing louder than Cameron Indoor on rivalry night.
This isn’t just a business play. It’s a power move. At 21, Trimble is already serving up proof that NIL can do more than fill a player’s closet it can build a future.
“One Scoop at a Time”
Trimble is keeping it cool about the whole thing, but insiders say he plans to lean into his UNC ties with Chapel Hill-themed events and maybe even Tar Heel-inspired flavors. Picture this:
- Carolina Crunch Swirl
- Dean Dome Delight
- March Madness Mint
Fans won’t just be lining up to watch Trimble play they’ll be lining up at the counter.
NIL Game Changer
What’s wild is how much this shows the evolution of college hoops. A few years ago, this would’ve been impossible. Now? A sophomore guard can flip NIL earnings into a national franchise deal. That’s more than a scoop that’s a whole sundae stacked with opportunity.
Legacy Beyond the Hardwood
Trimble’s already cementing his spot in Tar Heel lore, not just with his defensive energy and highlight plays, but with his off-court vision. He’s showing the next wave of athletes that you don’t just have to dream of the NBA you can dream of ownership, too.
So the next time UNC fans celebrate a big win, don’t be shocked if the chant changes from “Go Heels!” to “Two scoops!”
