Indiana State Brings in The Aspire Group

ATLANTA, GA – Indiana State University and The Aspire Sport Marketing Group (Aspire) are excited to announce a multi-year partnership. The Aspire Group will be responsible for selling and servicing all of Indiana State’s athletic tickets.

“Indiana State has not had a dedicated marketing group that focuses solely on athletic tickets in over 30 years and that is why I am excited for this partnership with Aspire,” said ISU Director of Athletics Sherard Clinkscales. “I believe that Aspire will help elevate our external engagement as well as provide unprecedented service to our incredible fans as they bring their proven ticket sales, game attendance, and revenue generation strategies to Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley.”

“We are excited to provide the first ever dedicated ticket sales and marketing resource for the Sycamores,” said Aspire Chief Executive Officer, Bill Fagan. “Sherard’s vision for elevating the Sycamores brand through excellent fan service will be realized in this partnership.”

Indiana State is Aspire’s eighth new partner in 2021 and Aspire’s fifth partner out of the Missouri Valley Conference, joining Bradley University, Drake University, Loyola University Chicago, and the University of Northern Iowa.
