The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) announced a renewal of its corporate partnership with Bison, Inc.
As a part of the new three-year agreement, Bison and its gym equipment division, IPI by Bison, will continue as the exclusive NFHS partner for basketball. The renewal of the partnership keeps intact a longstanding relationship between the NFHS and Bison. In the mid-1990s, Bison was a part of the NFHS product licensing program which the NFHS endorsed products for use in high schools.
“We are pleased that Bison will continue to serve as a corporate partner for the sport of basketball,” said Dr. Karissa Niehoff, NFHS executive director. “Bison has an extensive history with high schools throughout the country and has a reputation for its outstanding products. We look forward to continuing our association for the next three years.”
Bison’s basketball products include ceiling- and wall-suspended basketball systems, portable systems, breakaway goals, backboards, safety wall padding, DuraSkin backboard padding, and outdoor basketball systems. Bison’s lineup also includes volleyball equipment, as well as goals for soccer, football and other sports.
Nick Cusick, Bison’s founder and CEO, said, “Bison has enjoyed its longstanding mutually beneficial partnership with NFHS and is proud of the impact we both play in high school students’ development as players and as citizens.”
