Groople Travel Planning Technology Scores with Mountain West Athletic Conference

Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 4, 2008 ? The answer: Groople?s travel-planning (http://www.groople.com) technology. The question: How do you get an entire college sports team, the coaches, the administrators and busloads of fans to a game in another state...not just once, but numerous times during a season?

For coaches and administrators of the Mountain West Conference (http://themwc.cstv.com/), the process -- once a time consuming endeavor -- has now become easier thanks to a partnership with Groople (www.groople.com), the leading online group travel planning, sharing and booking site.

Groople has been named the official online group hotel reservation agency for the Mountain West Conference by CSTV (College Sports Television), the conference's media and sponsorship rights holder. The Mountain West is a NCAA Division I athletic conference comprised of the United States Air Force Academy, Brigham Young University, Colorado State University, University of New Mexico, San Diego State University, Texas Christian University, University of Utah, University of Wyoming and University Nevada, Las Vegas.

Groople's innovative technology (http://www.groople.com) simplifies planning group travel to games and championships for college administrators, coaches, teams -- and fans -- while securing low rates on hotels and other travel services.

"Researching, negotiating and booking hotels for team travel and championship games is a time consuming endeavor," said Dan Butterly, Associate Commissioner for Marketing and Tournament Manager for the Phillips 66 Mountain West Conference Basketball Championships. "Finding an online automated solution that will save time, while also getting competitive rates, is a win-win for everyone. The Mountain West Conference teams and championships will benefit from Groople's ability to negotiate discount rates with its national partnerships and multi-conference relationships."

As a benefit to this partnership, teams and fans can book hotels and cars for games easily through the dedicated Mountain West travel site (www.groople.com/mountainwest) powered by Groople.

"This partnership demonstrates the need for an online automated solution for sports travel and has the ability to serve teams, fans and administrators," says Mike Stacy, CEO of Groople. "We will provide the Conference with more than the traditional travel services and offer a collaborative solution for individuals and teams associated with the Mountain West."
