ACU Athletics partners with Collegiate Sports Connect

RALEIGH, N.C. – The ACU Department of Athletics announced on Tuesday a new partnership with Collegiate Sports Connect, Inc., a recently-launched technology platform for college athletics administrators that aims to make search processes more efficient and comprehensive. 
 
"We are really excited about this partnership with Connect, and we can't wait to being using it. As our department continues to grow, we will invest in the best and brightest who also fit the mission of ACU," Vice President for Athletics Zack Lassiter said. "We have tested the platform and love the functionality and the ability to quickly filter candidates across a number of specialties. The administrators we place around our coaches and student-athletes have a direct impact on the success of teams."
 
ACU joins a rapidly growing list of institutional partners covering all levels of Division I Athletics. As a client, the university will be able to boost its talent networking, identification, recruitment and acquisition processes with access to Connect's comprehensive professional intercollegiate athletics database and search functionality. 
 
"Not only does Connect give you the opportunity to control your professional profile and present yourself to prospective employers how you want, but by joining the Connect community you will also have access to exclusive industry-specific content created by the D1 Ticker and to breakout rooms where users can connect with colleagues to discuss ideas and best practices," Co-Founder and President Drew Turner said. "Our goal is to have every Division I institution as a search client by 2023.  My message to our industry and the professionals who work in it is to sign up for a profile and take advantage of this wonderful resource."
