SIAC joins Big 12 Conference, the Big Ten Network, Mountain West, Conference USA, and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association to air major sports across FloSports’ OTT channels

AUSTIN, Texas — Today, FloSports, the innovator in live digital sports and original content, announced a multiyear partnership with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) to exclusively stream more than 50 football and basketball conference games on FloFootball.com and FloHoops.com, respectively. The deal was agreed to in collaboration with the Collegiate Sports Management Group.

The SIAC joins several other NCAA conferences, including the Big 12, the Big Ten (via the Big Ten Network), Mountain West, Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), Conference USA, and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), to move regular season and championship events to FloSports’ OTT platform. As part of the agreement, FloSports will provide live and on-demand coverage of 20 college football games on FloFootball.com, as well as 10 regular season men’s basketball games, and 12 men’s and 12 women’s conference basketball tournament games on FloHoops.com. 

Founded over 100 years ago, the SIAC is one of the nation’s dynamic forces in intercollegiate athletics and has one of the most storied histories in all of the NCAA. Additionally, the SIAC has produced over 300 NFL players including greats such as Hall of Famer, Three-Time Super Bowl Champion, and SIAC Player of the Year Shannon Sharpe (Savannah State), All-Pro Punter Marquette King (Fort Valley State), First-Round Draft Pick and Two-Time Super Bowl Champion Tyrone Poole (Fort Valley State), and Five-Time Pro Bowler and Black College Football Hall of Fame Inductee Greg Lloyd Sr. (Fort Valley State) and Super Bowl Champion and Pro Bowler Jacoby Jones (Lane).

The schedule of basketball events will be announced later this year on FloHoops.com. The scheduled football events on FloFootball.com include:

“The SIAC is one of the most historic intercollegiate conferences in the country,” FloSports SVP, Global Rights Acquisition, Phil Wendler said. “Its rich history includes world-class student-athletes, coaches, and fans. We are excited to globally distribute 30 regular season contests, as well as every game during the SIAC men’s and women’s conference basketball tournament on FloHoops.com.”

“We are extremely pleased to embark on this new partnership with FloSports,” said Greg Moore, SIAC Commissioner. “Flo’s innovative approach to providing sports fans with convenient access to unique content is in direct alignment with our objective to provide broader exposure to SIAC member schools, athletic programs, and student-athletes.”
