U.S. Integrity Renews Partnership with the University of Pittsburgh to Ensure Betting Integrity
U.S. Integrity Inc. announced a renewal to their partnership with the University of Pittsburgh, as they aim to protect the integrity of their athletics as sports betting rapidly proliferates the US.
The historic athletic program, which has been partnered with U.S. Integrity since 2020, features 19 athletic teams 10 women’s and nine men’s respectively. Since joining the ACC in 2013, Pitt has captured nine team titles and 29 individual championships. Last season, Pitt football posted a dominating 45-21 win over Wake Forest to claim the program’s first ACC Football Championship, while the men’s soccer team grabbed a share of the ACC Coastal Division crown for the second consecutive season. Felix Wolter became the fourth male individual at Pitt to earn an ACC Indoor Track & Field championship, while Nino Bonaccorsi, Cole Matthews, and Jake Wentzel earn ACC Wrestling titles.
U.S. Integrity will continue to provide integrity monitoring services via its proprietary dashboard to the University of Pittsburgh. U.S. Integrity conducts analysis across dozens of data sets to proactively identify irregular contest-level, officiating & wagering patterns.
“We are excited to renew our partnership with U.S. Integrity, as we aim to ensure the integrity of our athletic program. U.S. Integrity’s commitment to maintaining integrity, as well as their proactive approach, will play a pivotal role in assisting us with monitoring sports betting in relation to our athletic program,” said Pitt Associate AD for Compliance Ryan Mitchell.
“U.S. Integrity is proud to continue our partnership with the University of Pittsburgh and assist with maintaining the integrity of college athletics in the ACC. U.S. Integrity’s mission is to provide conflict-free, best in class insights & compliance solutions to our clients. We are looking forward to continuing to work with the exceptional team at the University of Pittsburgh. All our partners are committed to the highest integrity standards, and they are no exception.
