NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame football program and Vysk Communications (Vysk), a market leader in the private secure communications industry, have announced a multi-year sponsorship in which Vysk will be the official coach’s headset sponsor for the 2014 Irish football season and beyond.
“We’re pleased to partner with Vysk Communications,” said Jim Fraleigh, University of Notre Dame deputy athletics director. “Vysk’s solutions are an innovative and intuitive approach to privacy, and we are excited to be working with them.”
The headsets will appear on Irish head coach Brian Kelly and his coaching staff starting Saturday (Aug. 30) when Notre Dame takes on Rice at Notre Dame Stadium to open the 2014 season (3:30 p.m. EDT on NBC Sports).
“Vysk Communications is proud to partner with one of the most iconic collegiate football programs in the country,” said Victor Cocchia, CEO and co-founder of Vysk Communications. “Everyone knows that a coach’s conversation when using their headset is private and only intended for one recipient. We want to extend that same privilege to everyone by introducing them to Vysk.”
