KENT, Ohio –– Kent State University has partnered with Teamworks to implement Teamworks Elite, which will integrate multiple purpose-built tools – Hub, Compliance & Recruiting, Influencer, and Academics– across the athletic department. This collaboration underscores Kent State's commitment to strategic excellence and the advancement of its student-athletes both on and off the field.
One primary reason Kent State was drawn to the Teamworks suite of products is the consolidation of resources under one roof. The centralized system, robust support, and the prospect of complete integration are the driving force and source of excitement for Kent State.
Teamworks Elite will provide the Kent State Athletic Department with innovative technology. It will initially be used to maximize communications, roster management, practices, meetings, compliance, and recruiting. In the future, additional enhancement products may be added to align with the changing landscape of college athletics.
"We are thrilled to integrate Teamworks Elite to further enhance the support we provide our student-athletes and athletic programs," said Randale L. Richmond, Vice President and Director of Athletics. "With Teamworks Elite, Kent State Athletics will be positioned to thrive in a rapidly evolving environment, ensuring that we are offering our student-athletes the best resources and tools to succeed both on and off the field. This partnership reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve in collegiate athletics."
Teamworks Elite will also help Kent State Athletics more quickly reach and engage student-athletes and staff on an elite-level platform with an intuitive interface. The Teamworks product package will provide many other efficiencies, allowing Kent State to upgrade and transform communications, collaboration, compliance, recruiting, data sharing, workflows, and department efficiency.
The Mid-American Conference recently announced a league-wide partnership with Teamworks to proactively support their student-athletes and administrators with the tools and technology needed to thrive in the rapidly changing landscape of college sports.
"Becoming an Elite partner is a strategic step that elevates the MAC as a leader in collegiate athletics," said MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher. With Teamworks' cutting-edge technology, we are empowering our schools to work more efficiently, fostering better interactions between student-athletes, staff, and departments, and creating new opportunities for success, particularly in the NIL space."
