The Briar Cliff University Chargers (BCU) launched their new athletics website today. Briar Cliff is the first school in the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC, also powered by SIDHelp) to join the SIDHelp network.

The new athletic site look was designed to match the look of their main school site. "Briar Cliff provided us with a template and we plugged SIDHelp into their design. This give them the look they wanted with all the feature of SIDHelp." said Greg Black the creator of SIDHelp.

Briar Cliff's new site have a few first for SIDHelp designs besides being the first client to provide us with their own template to use. They were the first site we added sortable rosters that gives visitors the ability to sort the roster without having to reload the page.  We also added a module that lets them upload and archive their HoofPRINTS newsletter so visitors can view the current and past issues.

Briar Cliff University is located in Northwest Iowa just minutes away from downtown Sioux City, where Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota meet. Briar Cliff maintains a 14:1 student-teacher ratio to ensure that every student is given the attention they deserve.

The Chargers compete in 18 sports within the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and GPAC. Briar Cliff's men's teams consist of baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, track and field, and wrestling; the women compete in softball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, track and field, tennis and volleyball. In addition Briar Cliff also maintains their own cheerleading squad, and competitive dance team.
