MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The names the same, but that's the only thing. Barry University Athletics has partnered with SIDEARM Sports for an exciting new platform to showcase all the success of the Buccaneers.
GoBarryBucs.com's new site will feature a cutting edge look with new features, including social media and navigation integration, as well as recruiting and fan enhancements.
"We're excited to partner with SIDEARM Sports and give our alumni, faculty, fans, prospects, and student-athletes a new front door to BarryU Athletics," Director of Athletics Michael L. Covone said. "The Buccaneer website is where you can get information on all of programs, join the Buc Club, see the latest results, and not just follow your favorite team but engage and interact. Some of the new additions to the web site are vibrant photo galleries, easy access to the Buccaneer broadcasting network, championships, social media and navigation integration, as well as recruiting and fan enhancements. We hope everyone will enjoy the new look and the latest cutting edge technology.
"I want to thank our team of experts (Dennis Jezek, Jr., Jim McCurdy, Miguel Ramirez, Kim Cox, and Jamie Carrig) for their leadership, dedication and commitment to the development of our new web site, the Barry mission and making the partnership possible with SIDEARM Sports!"
SIDEARM (Sports Information Distribution Engine with Archives and Records Management) is a collegiate athletic web-based content management solution that includes everything from press release and roster management, social media integration, dynamic scoreboards, sponsorship recognition, interactive polls, SIDEARM STATS (live in-game statistics), streaming audio and video, newsletters, recruiting components, and so much more. SIDEARM SPORTS has a client list that includes over 750 athletic clients from around the country.
"Our athletic website page has been developed and maintained in-house for nearly 20 years," Sports Information Director Dennis Jezek, Jr. said. "While the look and feel of the website has always been first-rate, the technology, especially on the back end, has advanced tremendously in the last few years. By partnering with SIDEARM, we will be able to take advantage of some of the features that the new technology offers."
With scrolling stories, photos, videos, social media posts and galleries, #GoBarryBucs fans can gain access to the Buccaneers under one roof through quick-to-access simple clicks. Links to Barry University's school website and Barry's School of Human Performance and Leisure Sciences will all be made available on GoBarryBucs.com.
"We are excited to welcome Barry Athletics to the SIDEARM Sports family. We are confident that the fans, alumni and campus will enjoy this new digital experience and all that it has to offer," said Dave Meluni, VP of Sales and Business Development at SIDEARM Sports.
