I watched some of the Guilford/Greensboro game last night. The game was played at the UNC Greensboro coliseum and the video quality, which came via Flo Sports, was the best I've seen. Really crisp and clear. I suspect this has to do with superior equipment at UNCG, which would confirm what people have said that streaming quality itself is not controllable with just the Flo platform.

As Fall sports begin to conclude for the season, I am going to assign Flo Sports a failing grade for exclusive content. The UAA and others leagues promised that this would be a value-ad for subscribers.

Technology-wise, the live stream has been better lately, so there is that.

"exclusive" content:  You can't watch the games unless you subscribe.

They do have articles that I suppose are exclusive in the sense of being written by Flo staff (and maybe you have to be a subscriber to read them), such as this one about the Emory men's and women's soccer teams making the Final Four

They also occasionally have studio shows, but I haven't seen on in awhile.

They do have some articles, but not enough to get them out of the F tier.  And when they do, quality-wise, they are terrible.  They also have original content on social media, but those are limited.  For example, just one Tweet about Emory Men's Soccer even though three client schools had made the Women's Final Four.
