Cooper Tire Scores as “Official Tire Partner of the Big Ten Conference”

FINDLAY, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cooper Tire today announced it is the new Official Tire Partner of the
Big Ten Conference, putting the brand front and center on the Big Ten
Network’s television, digital and radio properties throughout 2016,
reaching millions nationwide.

Cooper will also be seen in-stadium with venue signage during men’s and
women’s basketball, hockey and football, including the Big Ten Football
Championship Game, Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments and other
conference championships and tournaments.

The Big Ten Network is the premier destination for college sports fans
to immerse themselves in the Big Ten experience. Capturing the
conference’s passion and tradition with unparalleled coverage of more

internationally distributed network dedicated to covering America’s most
storied collegiate conference.

“Cooper has always had a passion for college sports and we’re excited to
bring that passion to life as the Official Tire Partner of the Big Ten
Conference,” said Jessica Egerton, Cooper’s Director of Brand

that Cooper has when it comes to innovating and producing quality tires.
The Big Ten and Cooper make a great team,” she added.

“The history of the Big Ten spans 120 years since the conference was
established in 1896. Teaming up with Cooper, a company that has been
producing quality tires for more than a century and is one of only two
major tire companies headquartered in the U.S., is a great fit,“ said
Scott Bailey, General Manager of Big Ten Sports Properties. “There’s a
lot in store for the Big Ten in 2016 and we’re looking forward to
cheering on victories with Cooper as our Official Tire Partner. Securing
the partnership was a collaborative effort between BTN and Learfield’s
Big Ten Sports Properties, multi-media rights holder of the Big Ten.”
