ABILENE – The Abilene Christian athletic department announced the continued and extended partnership with VIP Sports Getaway, making them the "official charter bus partner of ACU athletics." The relationship began back in 2012, and the new contract, signed in the late fall of 2022, will extend all the way through the 2031-32 school year.
"We are very excited to continue our partnership with Kris Randolph and VIP Sports," said VP for Athletics Zack Lassiter. "I always love finding solutions with companies that call the Big Country home. Ensuring our teams have a first class travel experience is important and with the new ACU branded bus, we will be hard to miss."
The newly wrapped bus is the a 2023 state-of-the-art MCI motor coach, and has ACU branding on each side, as well as the front and back. The football team took the brand new bus over to Stephenville on Nov. 5 for the game against Tarleton, and the bus has continued to be used through the winter season as well.
