KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) has announced an extension of a corporate partnership with Jostens. The MIAA and Jostens partnership began in December 2014 and with this extension will continue through the 2027-28 academic year.

The multi-year agreement continues to make Jostens the official championship ring provider of the MIAA. This past academic year, Jostens designed conference and NCAA postseason Championship rings for Central Missouri, Central Oklahoma, Missouri Southern, Pittsburg State, Rogers State and Washburn. 
 
“Our membership continues to work with Jostens to create incredible pieces that recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the MIAA’s athletic programs on both the conference and national stages,” said MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy. “We appreciate the ability to renew the partnership with this industry leader.”

"We’re honored to renew our partnership with the MIAA, one of the most accomplished conferences in Division II athletics," said Chris Poitras, Jostens SVP & GM for College & Pro Sports. "The MIAA’s commitment to excellence—both on the field and in shaping student-athletes for success beyond graduation—perfectly aligns with our mission to celebrate achievement at every level. We’re proud to continue crafting championship rings that represent the hard work, growth, and dedication of these remarkable student-athletes. A championship ring is more than a symbol of victory – it’s a reflection of what it means to truly ‘Bring Your A Game’."
