CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Cascade Collegiate Conference has announced a new partnership with Engine, a leading group travel platform built to simplify hotel bookings for athletic departments, staff, and student-athletes. This partnership will support CCC institutions across regular-season travel and conference-hosted championship events.
Managing travel for multiple varsity programs is a daunting challenge, especially for colleges with limited administrative support. Coordinating logistics for hundreds of student-athletes, navigating constant schedule shifts, and handling unexpected changes can quickly become overwhelming. But getting it right matters: better travel means athletes are well-rested, teams stay in quality accommodations, and programs save money that can be reinvested where it counts—on the field, in the locker room, and across campus.
Engine was purpose-built to solve these challenges. The platform offers:
· Consolidated invoicing and direct billing to schools
· Flexible, last-minute changes without penalty
· Hands-on 24/7 customer support from travel experts
· A user-friendly interface for coaches, admins, and staff
"We're thrilled to partner with the Cascade Collegiate Conference to streamline travel operations for their teams and championship events,” said Joon Lee, Director of Partnerships at Engine. “Our free group travel platform takes the stress out of logistics, allowing CCC institutions to focus on what matters most, the game."
Engine also delivers measurable value by unlocking an average of 26% in savings across its network of 750,000+ hotels worldwide. CCC teams can now access quality accommodations at better rates, while student-athletes enjoy the elevated travel experience they deserve.
The platform has quickly become a game-changer for collegiate athletic departments. Whether it’s helping new coaches navigate unfamiliar booking processes or offering visibility into team budgets and travel reports, Engine eliminates the manual work—no more juggling credit cards, collecting receipts, or managing separate spreadsheets.
“We are excited to partner with Engine,” said Robert Cashell, CCC Commissioner. "The logistics of travel for our teams has become more and more challenging over the years, and having a singular platform where bookings, last-minute changes, and all of the accounting can all be centralized provides for a much better experience for all involved."
With no contracts, no fees, and no disruption to current systems, CCC member institutions can adopt Engine immediately to make smarter, faster, and more cost-effective travel decisions.
