GREENVILLE, S.C. – Conference Carolinas is excited to announce their official partnership with Engine, a fast-growing travel platform built to streamline hotel bookings for athletic departments, coaches, and student-athletes. This collaboration will support member institutions throughout the season and at championship events.

Coordinating travel for multiple teams is one of the biggest challenges athletic departments face. Engine solves this with tools built specifically for sports, including its group booking feature that allows coaches to reserve all their hotels for the season in just one day. The platform makes travel easier than ever with:

• Direct billing and consolidated invoicing
• Flexible, penalty-free changes
• A simple, all-in-one booking platform for coaches and administrators
• 24/7 dedicated customer support

“We’re excited to partner with Conference Carolinas, a standout conference in the NCAA Division II landscape,” said Joon Lee, Director of Partnerships at Engine. “Our goal is to make travel easier so schools can focus on performance, not logistics.”

Through Engine, Conference Carolinas institutions gain access to more than 750,000 hotels worldwide, with average savings of 26 percent. Student-athletes benefit from quality accommodations, while athletic departments save valuable time and resources to reinvest in their programs.

"Partnering with Engine is a way to help extend the travel budgets of our members, while providing a great experience for our student-athletes,” said Craig McPhail, Associate Commissioner. “The ease of operation and efficiency Engine provides allows our Conference Carolinas coaches to focus on the development of the body, mind and soul.”

With no costs, contracts, or disruption to existing processes, Conference Carolinas schools can start using Engine immediately to simplify and elevate their travel experience.
