Carolina University Partners with Motion to Transform Department and Team Operations

May 21, 2025

Carolina University and Athletic Director Chelsea Jones are proud to announce a new partnership with Motion, the technology platform for modern college athletic departments. This collaboration will enhance department operations and program management for all of our staff, coaches, and student-athletes across the Bruins programs.

Developed by former college athletes, coaches, and compliance staffers, Motion’s modern and intuitive design, coupled with its focus on customer support, make it a go-to solution for athletic departments looking to compete at a higher level without the burden of disconnected tech or unreasonable costs.

“This partnership with Motion helps us to simplify our internal operations while giving our coaches and student athletes the tools they need to succeed both on and off the field or court,” said Chelsea Jones, athletic director at Carolina University.

Through this partnership, Carolina University will gain access to Motion’s full suite of team management tools, including centralized team scheduling and messaging, film distribution, mental health, and nutrition— all in a mobile, athlete-friendly app. The product empowers administrators to work more efficiently, while equipping student-athletes with a seamless digital experience that supports every aspect of their collegiate journey.

“Chelsea and the Carolina University athletic department are on a mission to provide an amazing experience for the staff and student-athletes, and Motion is excited to be there every step of the way,” said Motion CEO Jay Townsend.

The rollout of Motion at Carolina University reflects the institution’s commitment to innovation, student success, and a modern approach to collegiate athletics. As the landscape continues to evolve, this partnership ensures the Bruins are positioned to thrive in an increasingly competitive and complex environment.

About Carolina University

Carolina University is a modern university focused on providing value for students. Although our history dates back over one hundred years, we are not weighed down by history or by legacy practices. Most universities do things the same way because that’s how they have always done it. At Carolina University, we do things differently: we ask what is best for the student. And we structure our educational practices with the singular goal of enabling student success.
