PrestoSports and the Southern Collegiate Athletic
Conference Partner to Deliver Immersive Fan Experiences
Through a Conference-Wide Digital Network
Press Release (ePRNews.com) -
PHOENIX - Aug 27, 2019 -
PrestoSports and the Southern
Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC)
announced a partnership to
deliver immersive fan experiences
through a conference-wide digital
network. SCAC schools share a
commitment to transformational
athletic experiences. PrestoSports will
assist in this commitment by providing
its StretchLive streaming platform to all
SCAC members and for all
championship events, providing an
engaging experience SCAC fans desire.
With this focus on creating immersive fan experiences, SCAC made the strategic decision to provide a
best-in-class digital platform to their schools, athletes, and fans. PrestoSports’ StretchLive solution will
provide this immersive fan experience within one interface. Fans will also be able to access the on-
demand stream in record time.
Additionally, StretchLive will enable SCAC programs to take control of their productions through
flexible event management and utilize program best practices, workflows, processes, and templates.
SCAC programs can also create event templates and apply them across future events, projecting a
consistent brand and visitor experience.
“At PrestoSports we pride ourselves on delivering engaging experiences for fans and alumni while
helping conferences and schools to elevate their programs,” stated Keith Womack, President of
PrestoSports. “After meeting with the members of the SCAC, we know that they share our vision for
delivering great experiences and help promote the amazing athletic competitions within this great
conference.”
In conjunction with this immersive streaming solution, PrestoSports will also provide the SCAC an
Over-the-Top (OTT) application for their conference network for Apple TV, Android TV and Amazon
Fire TV. This app will extend the fan experience, allowing viewers to watch their favorite team in action
anywhere on any device.
“We are pleased to partner with PrestoSports to offer all fans of our 10 member institutions a one-
stop viewing portal that we hope will become the hub of all streaming activity throughout the

conference,” said SCAC Commissioner Dwayne Hanberry. “The piece that really excites us is the ability
to push content to our own OTT application. The SCAC can basically become its own streaming
network, not unlike ESPN+, and that is a potential game-changer for everyone who is a fan of our
league.”
The SCAC Digital Network will launch later this month. Visit the SCAC website at scacsports.com for
details and access.
