SAN ANTONIO , TX (January 8, 2020) – The Association of Collegiate Anglers and Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series are proud to announce their renewed partnership with Ranger Boats for the 2020 season. In conjunction with this partnership, Ranger Boats will continue to reach collegiate anglers throughout the nation at events on the national level with the one-of-a-kind Ranger Cup University program.
“At Ranger, we recognize that college programs are producing the next generation of anglers, including many top, tour-level pros. It’s critically important for us to show support at this level,” said Ranger Boats’ Marketing Director Matt Raynor. “Our partnership with the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series showcases a lot of this talent, and we’re privileged to be a part of something that is elevating the sport in an exciting way.”
Modeled after the most lucrative contingency reward program in the fishing industry, Ranger Cup University is the only program of its kind designed exclusively for collegiate anglers. The program is open to those competing on the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series events throughout the 2020-2021 season. Regardless of which boat brand they run, collegiate anglers in compliance with program guidelines can earn merchandise, prizes, as well as a once-in-a-lifetime fishing opportunity to qualify for the Ranger Cup University Team Challenge held each year.
Collegiate Anglers need to register for the program at the start of each new calendar year, regardless of past participation. Registration is completely free of charge and includes payout opportunities at each of the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series events this season.
“Ranger Boats’ support of bass fishing has always been legendary when you look at the history of our sport. It only goes without saying that their legacy in college fishing is also historical as they’re one of only a handful of companies that were involved in the early growth of college bass fishing. It continues to be an honor to call them our partners in the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series, and the Ranger Cup University is one the top prize programs in all of college fishing,” said Wade Middleton, President of CarecoTV, and Director of the ACA.
