Drive & Company and The Business of Small College Athletics Announce Strategic Partnership

Drive & Company (D&C), the publisher and parent company of industry-leading newsletters D1.ticker, D2.ticker, D3.ticker, NAIA.ticker and Coaches.Wire, as well as the corporate home of AthleticDirectorU.com, D1.classroom, D1.dossiers, CollegeSports.jobs and D1.relocation, is entering into a strategic partnership with the Business of Small College Athletics (BOSCA), the industry leader in small college athletics professional development, to further enhance the services both organizations provide to the small college athletics community. 

Through this new partnership, D&C will co-brand small college print and video interviews with BOSCA in D2.ticker, D3.ticker and NAIA.ticker and post the co-branded content on the BOSCA website, making it easier than ever for small college athletics professionals to stay up to date on what their colleagues around the industry are saying. The agreement also provides D&C with enhanced visibility and participation in year-round BOSCA programming and events.

“Drive & Company is committed to creating value and efficiency for college athletic professionals. As a former Division III AD, I understand the importance of being informed of all the changes in college athletics while also having limited time outside to do so,” said Maria Buckel, Drive & Company Chief Operating Officer. “ I also know there is so much great work being done on campuses across the country that is not being reported by any media source. We are thrilled to work with Jim Abbott and BOSCA to help amplify this work.” 

“It’s exciting to formalize our relationship with Drive & Company, " said BOSCA Founder Jim Abbott. “BOSCA exists to promote the achievements of small college athletic administrators and to provide those professionals with relevant professional development opportunities.”  “Working alongside D&C opens up new and exciting ways that we can achieve that mission.”
