Universities and
colleges are taking advantage of the opportunity by sports
webcasting their teams for public viewing.

keep on top of the latest in university athletics.1
Sports Webcasting Loaded with Benefits for Colleges
This new technology is expanding the potential reach of college sports. Sports
webcasting is packed with benefits like school promotion, athletics publicity,
recruitment, and retention. It also gives multimedia students a shot at in-house,
real-world experience before they ever step foot into their careers.2
