Reminder: This is year one of building a new media model for small college athletics with @urbanedgetv and Visaic. Growth is happening fast. The foundation is being built. The ceiling is still unknown. That’s the exciting part. #TheRightWayToPlay

A year ago our conference network had about 2.2 million viewers. Today we’re nearly 6 million. ☑️More schools promoting. ☑️More fans discovering games. ☑️More viewers outside the traditional fan base finding small college athletics. Momentum is real with @UrbanEdgeTv and Visaic. #TheRightWayToPlay

Nailed it! Let the world see our games barrier free! It's a shame that I didn't see so many good teams & players because of paywalls. Expose our game, teams, players, schools to the world, for free! Well done @NAIA AND @UrbanEdgeNet

Small college athletics is evolving fast. In less than 12 months, the platform ecosystem built by @UrbanEdgeTv and Visaic has streamed 6,000+ events for the @NAIA and partner conferences like @TheHeartConf. That level of scale is incredible — and it's free for fans. More games. More exposure. More value for everyone. #TheRightWayToPlay

When you're in a hotel room in Montgomery and have nothing else to do...figure out @NAIA women's basketball first round records by conference (ranked by number of wins). Crossroads 6-1 Mid-South 5-1 Frontier 3-1 GPAC 3-3 Red River 2-0 River States 2-1 KCAC 2-2 SSAC 2-2 Cascade 2-4 Sun 1-0 AMC 1-1 Chicagoland 1-1 Heart 1-2 Sooner 1-4 GSAC 0-1 CAC 0-1 CALPAC 0-1 HBCUAC 0-2 Appalachian 0-2 WHAC 0-2 @NAIAWomensHoops

Being at the roundtable reminded me half the battle is being in the room where decisions are made. While many of the debates are focused on P4 rev sports, 95%+ of all college athletic experiences happen outside of DI. We must preserve college athletics as it was intended. #TRWTP
NAIA@NAIA

Today NAIA President & CEO Jim Carr represented small colleges in the U.S. Senate Roundtable on college athletics reform. "Collegiate athletics reform remains a hot topic on Capitol Hill, and I’m grateful for the chance to advocate for the unique perspective of small colleges... As these discussions are happening at the highest level, allowing it to trickle down will impact many of the great things that are happening at our levels."

A Blue Jays fan caught an Aaron Judge home run ball & gave it to a young New York Yankees fan sitting nearby. The boy couldn’t hold back his tears. Sometimes sports give us more than just a game they give us moments like this.🥹

Nothing says CONGRATULATIONS, You're in the @NCAADII tournament like your first round matchup being a rematch of your conference tournament. The coaches and student-athletes that work to get to the pinnacle of their sport deserve so much more. Budget, travel, missed class time. Excuse, Excuse, Excuse. Maybe the @NAIA shouting #TheRightWayToPlay from the rooftop needs to be careful modeled and adopted in championship discussions going forward.

The best assistant coaches do three things well: 1. Support the head coach publicly 2. Challenge the head coach privately 3. Serve the players daily Loyalty doesn’t mean silence. It means alignment and trust.

Proud to host the first-ever Heart Shotgun Sports Conference Championships. We took this on because we believe in the sport in our region and wanted to create a championship experience student-athletes would respect — while adding common-sense collegiate structure to a sport that is incredible but also costly. Huge credit to Assistant Commissioner Madison Lantz for owning the planning & execution and to our coaches for helping bring the concept to life. Shoutout to Macie Albright for great media and content that student-athletes truly appreciated. #TheHeartsWayToPlay #TheRightWayToPlay
