DALLAS – Conference USA Commissioner Judy MacLeod announced today that Ryan has entered into an agreement to be the title sponsor for the 2019 C-USA Football Championship. Ryan, a leading global tax services and software provider, becomes the Official Corporate Tax Services Firm of Conference USA and will continue its title sponsorship of the annual football championship through 2021.
"It is an honor to welcome Ryan as the title sponsor for our premiere football game for the next three years," said MacLeod. “With Ryan, we have an outstanding local partner that will be involved not only in our sports, but also in our community efforts on campus in conjunction with the C-USA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. We are excited to move forward and want to thank Chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan for his team’s efforts in making this partnership a reality.”
As part of the agreement, Ryan will receive marketing and brand activation at all C-USA Championships, including the 2020 C-USA Basketball Championships presented by Baylor Scott & White Sports Performance Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
“We are proud to be the Official Tax Partner of Conference USA and look forward to supporting their student athletes throughout the league,” said Ryan Chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan. “Our partnership with the Conference USA enhances our brand exposure across the member universities, supporting our growth strategy to attract and retain the very best talent in our industry.”
Also through the partnership, C-USA and Ryan will team up to form the “C-USA Generosity Matters Presented by Ryan” initiative, which will enable C-USA SAAC representatives to identify and complete a local service project for points toward the conference’s annual SAAC Cup competition.
The 15th annual Conference USA Football Championship will feature the top two teams from the league’s East and West Divisions. The team with the highest winning percentage in conference play will serve as host for the title game at 1:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 7 on CBS Sports Network.
