🏆 Congratulations to our partner, @VirginiaSports, on Saturday’s season-opening win in front of a sold-out crowd at Scott Stadium!
For the Week Zero matchup, UVA made its mobile app part of gameday with WMT’s Gameday Mode.
With a simple toggle, fans could access a purpose-built hub that brought together live game information, stadium resources, listening options, pregame clips, and content tailored to the moment.

Great moment from a Sloan Sports Analytics Conference panel with Dan Stahl of the South Carolina Gamecocks on digital strategy in college athletics.
Conversations like this show how important personalization has become as teams look for better ways to connect with fans. 👇

Cool first for us during MCWS week. The Razorback mobile app cracked the Top 200 on Apple's Sports App Chart (#143)....extremely rare for indiv team to break into. (FC Barcelona the other). Utility + real-time content + consistency = an owned platform with MASSIVE/loyal following

Humble is the first thing that comes to mind for many when they think about our Founder & CEO Andres Focil. So rather than ask him to celebrate his @SBJ 40 Under 40 Award with a quote, we asked some longtime partners to share a message.
@SECNetwork's Michael Thompson leads off.

This call should not keep South Carolina out of the Playoff
Another pick-6 wiped off the board for South Carolina after a massive hit on Garrett Nussmeier 😳
2 HUGE plays called back on the Gamecocks defense

There's no justification for keeping South Carolina out of the Playoff now.
The committee still might find a way, create an excuse, but the Gamecocks earned the right.
Beat a ranked team for the 3rd time in November.

Congrats to South Carolina, winning at Clemson. SCar destroyed my Sooners and my Commodores on the road. Defense is ferocious. LaNorris Sellers is a maturing talent. Last 6 weeks I haven't seen a better college football team than South Carolina.

The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize.
Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition.
It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.
this is a pretty big deal. Really allows you to transform your owned and operated app into a comprehensive content platform for fans. Quick, AI assisted highlights in vertical format. wmt.digital/blog/wmt-digital…

We appreciate Tyson and Eric’s leadership and innovation. Leaning into the app as a priority is smart. Take it for a spin byucougars.com/app
18 months ago I sent the the attached text to @ChrisFreet… Yesterday, we officially launched in-app stories & moments in the BYU Cougars app—the first of its kind in college athletics.
In October of last year, we consolidated our digital properties into a new vertical, led by @eric_bearden. His work and vision for our owned & operated platforms has far exceeded anything we could’ve imagined.
Huge shoutout to our technology partner, @WMTdigital for being willing to innovate with us and @WSC_Sports for powering our content stack.
Download the BYU Cougars app 😁
