DUBLIN, Ohio – The Team: Sports, Entertainment, and Media has recently been retained by three collegiate conferences to provide consulting services, announced Frank Pergolizzi, Director of The Team’s Collegiate Services Division.

The Team will work with the American Southwest Conference and the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association with completion of the conferences’ required NCAA Conference Self Study. The Team will also provide consulting services to the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference to assist the conference and its members with development of a five-year conference strategic plan.

“As our Collegiate Services Division continues to grow, we continue to look for opportunities that allow us to serve the college athletics community in as many ways as possible,” said Pergolizzi. “By working with these three conferences we are able to utilize our expertise in this realm to assist these great organizations that simply do not have the same resources as some of their Division I brethren but still strive to provide outstanding opportunities to student-athletes across the country.”

Pergolizzi spent nearly two decades as an NCAA Division I Director of Athletics, most recently at Southeastern Louisiana University. He also had stints as an Athletics Director at East Tennessee State University and Saint Francis (Pa.) College.

Among his many NCAA committee appointments, Pergolizzi served as a member of the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification and has also been active on NCAA Certification Peer Reviews.

The Team: Sports, Entertainment, & Media's Collegiate Services Division, launched in July 2006, offers an array of products and services to college athletics administrators, including certification consultation, strategic planning, program review, feasibility studies, gender equity and compliance consulting, and financial services.
