CSU Athletics to Launch New Website

Columbus, Ga. -- Columbus State University sports fans will find a new look to the school's athletic website, csucougars.com, later today as a new site launches. CSU is joining a number of other Peach Belt Conference schools in joining the Presto Sports network for its web hosting.

"It makes a lot of sense for us to make this move to Presto Sports at this time," said CSU Assistant Athletic Director for Communication Mike Peacock. "The timing is perfect as our three-year commitment with Athleticsite.com just ended, and we are now able to network with other PBC schools."

"I do want to be clear that we were in no way dissatisfied with Athleticsite and the work that Scott McCain did for us. We had a wonderful relationship with Scott and his company and our service was outstanding. This is just a move that we felt we needed to make to have a lot of uniformity and solidarity with other schools in our conference," Peacock said.

Fans will notice the new look of the site immediately as it launches, with incorporation of more photos of CSU athletes in the headers and several features for quick and easy navigation. The site will also feature more opportunity for multimedia offerings such as video, an enhanced live statistics view, and many more.

"We were due for a re-design whether we switched providers or not, and Presto helped us come up with the design we had pictured. It will take all of us a little time to get acquainted with everything the new site has to offer and exactly how to move around, but after a short adjustment, we think our fans and those searching for information on our programs will be well-pleased and impressed with our site," Peacock added.

The new csucougars.com should launch sometime this afternoon (Wednesday, January 6).
