The Heart pledges to elevate the standard across conferences in the NAIA. ♥️ THAT’S The Right Way To Play. #therightwaytoplay #theheartswaytoplay

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

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
