Flo Sports

[Ron Boerger]

Dwayne has talked about this almost since day one of the Flogreement.  They've hosted other tournaments (baseball comes to mind) at facilities they rent.  They pitch it as a great experience for the kids but I think it would be more fun to have people in the stands.  Let's face it, nobody (except maybe Hendrix) is going all the way to Little Rock to watch that championship weekend.

I can't remember any other conference making similar statements post-Flo.

It appears that the SCAC hosted football, soccer, baseball and possibly others off-campus last season.

But I should have been more specific.  I would love to know what that means financially. 

The 30K per school number has been thrown around, but are they also giving a meaningful amount of money to the league?  Do the schools get less?

From what I've gathered, it really does depend on the conference.  Some have given the conference office an equal share with each school - money that's used to supplement championships, etc.

I missed this note when I first read the SCAC announcement about the two year extension with FloSports:

Additionally, FloSports will launch a nationwide, free streaming option – the FloSports Channel – this Fall, giving fans more ways to watch select matchups.

Not sure how many "free" games will be included or in how many sports, but it's something to watch out for rather than automatically expecting that you won't be able to watch a game just because it's on Flo.

Been told that, after a certain amount of time, streams on Flo will be made free as archived games. Or at least, that was the plan. I assume it's still moving forward in that direction. So there's a high liklihood that all games will be free a few days after the fact, unless something has changed from the last time I was given this info.

I do think that's negotiable in the contract, but most conferences I've seen have games available 72 hours after the broadcast ends.

 From one who watches those delayed videostreams, it's been sporadic in the Landmark wrt basketball the past 2 seasons; some schools don't have them available.

Yeah, it's been on the individual schools to post them other places. What my understanding is, is that moving forward, Flo is going to make the archived streams available for free on their own platform to cut out that middle man. At least, that's the last that I'd heard about it, so I'm just working under the assumption that's going to be happening.
