Fans will be able to access everything from updates, behind-the-scenes footage and breaking news about their favorite Bulldog sports teams. “As a life-long Bulldog fan and alumnus, this is an especially important milestone for me,” said Razzaghi, who graduated in 2003 with a degree in electrical engineering and received his MBA in Starkville in 2004. “I am beyond excited to work with the MSU Athletic Department in reaching their millions of fans all over the world.” Fancred was founded in Boston in late 2012, and creators officially launched the Fancred iPhone app in March of 2013.

Fancred users earn a “Fancred Score,” a 1-to-100 point system that measures their overall engagement and activity on the application.
