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.

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.
