The problem
Juggling Too Much
As a small-school athletic department in the GPAC conference, Midland University faces a unique set of challenges. With limited resources and a mountain of responsibilities, the staff—led by Assistant Athletic Director Jeremy S.—had his hands full.
Endless Coordination Chaos
Managing travel for over 900 student-athletes isn’t easy. From booking hotels and managing travel, Jeremy was stretched thin. Add eligibility checks, administrative tasks, and a Midwest full of weather surprises, and things quickly became overwhelming.
The Downsides of Other Travel Sites
Relying on generic travel sites presented its own hurdles: • No direct billing: Coaches often had to use personal credit cards, creating financial headaches and time-consuming reimbursements. • Budget challenges: Expenses from unused rooms due to weather delays or sudden-death tournaments are troublesome for small, budget-conscious schools. • Quality issues: Accommodations sometimes fell short, leaving coaches and athletes frustrated.
New Coaches, New Problems
For coaches new to the area, navigating travel logistics was an added stress. Without a streamlined system, onboarding became an uphill battle.
