Students at the helm, USF an American Athletic Conference leader in streaming productions for ESPN+

USF is on its way to becoming No. 1 for streaming athletics events on...

When talking about conference expansion, I think this is very good news for us. Knowing that we have students working of this is great from building a fan base out of students and media exposure. This makes us more attractive and valuable than those that don’t have the streaming numbers (this is where media to heading anyways).

Impressive considering that the WUSF PBS station no longer exists, so this is a good outlet for USF students who want to get into media production.

Pretty cool for the students working.  Now if only they could get their student friends in the stands.

If you have ESPN+ definitely tune into the games, put them on as background noise or whatever as you work or cook or whatever.

Such talent has proven to be a strong investment for USF, as ESPN pays a commission on those broadcasts that generated nearly $30,000 in revenue last year, a number that is expected to soon double and continue to grow.

 

That's great!

I’m not so concerned with the $30k as much as it’s the streaming numbers. When looking a media deals, the correlated value is all about how many people are watching. If we are one of or the most watch G5 team, the appeal to an expanding conference is much higher, couple that with winning and it would elevate us above all other G5’s. That is the main goal.

Yep this is the future.  If we could position ourselves in such a way...
