Rockhurst signs partnership with Nike, BSN Sports

Rockhurst has established a new athletic partnership with Nike and BSN Sports.
Rockhurst University today announced that it has established a new athletic partnership with Nike and BSN Sports, the nation's largest direct marketer and distributor of sporting goods to the school and league markets and a division of Varsity Brands. Through this partnership, BSN Sports will serve as the official apparel and equipment provider to the Rockhurst Hawks' athletic programs while outfitting the university's athletes, coaches, and community members in premier Nike product selection.
 
The partnership, which extends over the next five years, will debut across the Hawks' 15 NCAA Division II men's and women's teams competing within the Great Lakes Valley Conference in the fall seasons. Rockhurst will also benefit from access to BSN Sports' line of Campus Branding products featuring exclusive Nike branding designs and customizable online fanwear shops for the Hawks community.

"We are excited to partner with BSN and offer Nike apparel and equipment to our student-athletes," said Kristy Bayer, RU Director of Athletics. "Having an affiliation with Nike will maximize our brand, provide a high-quality unified look for our programs, and create a championship experience for our student-athletes. Having a single-brand look will enhance recruiting efforts and elevate Rockhurst as a top NCAA DII program."

Todd Northrop, vice president of BSN Sports Collegiate Select Program, said, "Through this agreement between Rockhurst University, BSN Sports and Nike, our team is proud of the opportunity to support Hawks' student-athletes and staff with unparalleled access to top team gear and apparel. While our local team will stay connected to the daily needs of coaches and administrators, the Rockhurst community will benefit from BSN Sports' expansive resources including program branding products, our team of sport category experts and leading purchasing support teams to keep Hawks' athletes at the top of their game. We are proud of this partnership and welcome the opportunity put time back in the days of Rockhurst coaches, so they can continue focusing on positively impacting the lives of student-athletes."
