U.S. Integrity (USI) announced a comprehensive partnership with Virginia Tech, as they aim to protect the integrity of their athletic department as sports betting rapidly proliferates the US.
The historic athletic program features twenty-two sports divided equally between men and women. Since joining the ACC in 2004 the football program has won four conference championships, while the men’s basketball team has made five NCAA tournament appearances, including a sweet sixteen appearance in 2019 and an ACC championship in 2022.
USI will provide integrity monitoring services via its proprietary dashboard to Virginia Tech. USI conducts analysis across dozens of data sets to proactively identify irregular contest-level, officiating & wagering patterns.
“We are excited to partner with U.S. Integrity, as we aim to ensure integrity within and around our athletic programs and protect our student-athletes. USI’s commitment to maintaining integrity, as well as their proactive approach, will play a pivotal role in our efforts to monitor sports betting in relation to our athletic programs,” Derek Gwinn, Virginia Tech’s Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance, said.
“U.S. Integrity is proud to partner with Virginia Tech and assist with maintaining the integrity of college athletics in the ACC. USI’s mission is to provide conflict-free, best in class insights & compliance solutions to our clients,” Matthew Holt, CEO and co-founder of USI, said.
“We are looking forward to working with the exceptional team at Virginia Tech. All our partners are committed to the highest integrity standards, and they are no exception. These types of partnerships help ensure sports betting integrity and strengthen the unique & proprietary anomaly detection tools we have developed at U.S. Integrity,” Matthew Holt added.
