"The SCIAC and its nine member institutions are thrilled to begin a partnership with FloSports," SCIAC Commissioner Jenn Dubow said. "FloSports has demonstrated a significant and sincere commitment to providing funding and exposure for small-school college sports in a collaborative way that can help each of our institutions' unique approach and goals to streaming and athletics communications."
The SCIAC becomes the third Division III conference partnering with FloSports after the Landmark Conference announced an agreement in July 2023. FloSports broadcasted three national championships in the 2023-2024 season, and played host to three SCIAC programs in each of those events.
As the official broadcasting partner of the SCIAC, FloSports will stream all live and on-demand conference athletic events, all 21 championship games and meets. The SCIAC and FloSports have developed a shared vision for enhancing broadcast production standards and athletics communication efforts across all nine member institutions, with FloSports providing annual investment in the conference and each member.
At the conclusion of each live event, on-demand access will last for a period of 72 hours, after which video will be archived on the SCIAC Network. Free-of-charge access will be available at the conclusion of the 72-hour window. FloSports will also utilize the local, national and international brands of SCIAC member institutions by producing original content and social media programming.
"The SCIAC is a standout Division III conference that will add to a portfolio we're building at FloSports to elevate Division II and Division III sports at a critical juncture for college sports," Kolby Paxton, Manager, FloSports Rights & Acquisitions said. "It's more important than ever to provide a platform to these programs that will give them national and international reach with a vehicle to provide exposure for their many athletes."
With The SCIAC now under their umbrella, FloSports successfully furthers its vision for a digital platform dedicated to college sports. The company's current NCAA portfolio includes agreements with the BIG EAST, Coastal Athletic Association (CAA), Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), Landmark Conference, New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC), South Atlantic Conference (SAC), Gulf South Conference (GSC), California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA), Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA), and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF).
