Premiere Conferencing of Lenexa, Kansas, and Colorado Springs, Colorado, has been selected as the preferred teleconferencing vendor of the NCAA.

A three-year contract has been effective since July 1. The new agreement will cut the Association's teleconferencing expenditures by about $200,000 annually.

"Premiere Conferencing has been providing teleconferencing services to the NCAA for the past 15 years," said Mike King, NCAA director of operations. "Premiere will continue to serve the national office and member institutions by providing excellent customer service and implementing new technology as it is developed. Premiere has an account team that is very experienced and familiar with the needs of the national office and the membership."

Premiere currently provides services to several NCAA conferences and will extend the NCAA's volume pricing to member institutions that sign a contract.
