🚨 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗬: @nwcraiders In the 2025-26 school year, NWC created nearly 1,000 pieces of content, including game recaps, stories, and player bios. Total time saved? 661 hours. “I thought I was going to be the ‘never AI guy'. After hopping on [a] webinar, I was sold at the way they protect college sports communicators.” 💬 @bdlaackmann, Director of Athletic Communications & 2025 @GPACSports SID of the Year 🔗 Click to learn more about how FanWord is helping the #NWCRaiders produce volumes of content more efficiently: fanword.com/blog/case-stud…

@IceBorg We signed on with FanWord in 2024. When I have five recaps on a fall Saturday in addition to posting on socials, making sure stats are correct, and culling through photos, it buys me time to spend with my family and unwind. There’s still a story to tell, but it gets us 80% there

I try to keep an open mind when it comes to AI. I’ve certainly seen a lot of slop when it comes to conglomerate media companies using it to produce content My main hope is this is a supplement to staff and not something that is eventually used to supplant it.

I loved my first time at #CSCUnite26! Having the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues and learn from the best of the business was invaluable. I’m looking forward to bringing everything I learned back with me to campus!

Looking forward to collaborating with professionals in athletic communications at #CSCUnite26 in a few short weeks! See you in Vegas!

🚨 GIVEAWAY ALERT 🚨 No cap... In honor of Royce hitting the team's first home run of the season, we're giving away a signed Royce Lewis hat 🧢 Repost now for a chance to win!

Two years ago, Ben McCollum was the head coach of Northwest Missouri State (Division II). Today, he's got Iowa one win away from the Final Four. Anarchy? Nope. Just College Basketball.

Give Ben McCollum a blank check to stay in Iowa City. Never thought I’d see @IowaHoops turn it around so soon!

@JalenLangsy_ It was a joy to watch you play in Raider Red! Best wishes for your next steps!

Incredibly blessed and grateful for the 2 amazing years spent at Northwestern. Thank you to my coaches, teammates, and the community for believing in me and welcoming me with open arms. I am forever thankful for my time at Northwestern ❤️

@DanielVSPxP Sioux County probably has the best two. Deb Remmerde had 3,854 pts, 842 reb, 481 threes, 657 FTs at 95.8% with 41 pts in the naia championship

I think the question has to be asked: Is she the greatest all-around women's basketball player the GPAC has ever seen?

This one was a ton of fun! Tatum pitched the final two innings of game one before throwing all nine in game two. Add that to some clutch hitting and near-90 degree temps, it was quite a performance!

Bring the magic.✨ #NWCRaiders

Congrats, @coachwede_nwc! A great leader in our department and of our baseball program. Wede joins Shane Bouman (@NWCSoftball) & Kyle Van Den Bosch (@NWCVolleyball) as active Raider coaches with over 500 career wins.

The best is yet to come with this group! On a 13-game streak, bringing the national tournament to Orange City, and looking for their third-straight trip to KC. Looking forward to more postseason hoops next weekend!

Catching up after a crazy week for Raider sports… BK is the first NAIA athlete to EVER get regional honors in both track AND field. This guy has compiled a hefty resume on and around the oval after originally signing to play college baseball.

@ThatGuyRocked Need Nicholas Baer on this

Russ Smith That guy rocked.

@HurrdatSports @GarySharp1620 @ralulla @HailVarsity @omavs I don’t know if the Summit’s in trouble should Omaha move. NDSU’s move was football only. Oral Roberts, UMKC, both schools that have left and returned to the Summit. And still holding on to traditional conference champs and regional rivalries.

“I’m worried about the Summit League.” “I think [Omaha athletics] is always looking… there’s a lot of people interested in Omaha athletics and the Omaha market.” - @GarySharp1620 Omaha could be on the lookout for a new conference home after recent moves by other league teams.
