Story Highlights
When FloSports set out to scale its livestreaming presence across its deep portfolio of collegiate partners, it faced a familiar challenge: how to deliver professional-grade broadcasts at schools where the production team might be a single sports-information director, a student volunteer, or a multitasking grad assistant.
That challenge is met with the FloSports Production Suite, a self-contained live-production kit launched this fall and in pilot use across 11 NCAA Division II and III schools. The system combines commercial-grade hardware, cloud-based graphics, and FloSports' support infrastructure to streamline production for hundreds of smaller athletic programs, many of which have ever had access to this level of technology before.
The initiative coincides with an expanded partnership between FloSports and the Landmark Conference, which recently extended its exclusive media-rights agreement through 2032. The deal - generating more than 2.5 million live plays on the FloCollege platform and 3 million social impressions this year - underscores Landmark's status as a flagship partner in FloSports' mission to elevate Division II and III coverage nationwide.
NCAA Division II and III colleges will be able to produce professional-quality shows with FloSports' self-contained Production Suite.
We think we've got a core production suite that we can roll out, says Matthew Miller, VP, operations, FloSports. We're still early in the lifecycle - it has been in use only for about two months - and we're learning a lot about how to improve it. It's like launching a product: you start with your first 11 schools, get feedback, and iterate. The response has been positive. We're stoked to scale this out.
Inside the FloSports Production Suite At its core, the suite is a compact but powerful live-production station. It's anchored by vMix running on a Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 mobile workstation with an Intel Core i7-14700HX processor, NVIDIA RTX 2000 GPU, 32-GB DDR5 memory, and 1-TB SSD storage.
For encoding and delivery, each setup contains a Videon LiveEdge Node, a small-form-factor edge device already used by hundreds of teams across the FloSports platform.
Graphics are handled through web-based platform Singular.live, which requires no additional hardware and integrates seamlessly into vMix. FloSports' in-house design team has created custom Singular packages for each sport, delivering broadcast-grade visuals that instantly elevate campus productions.
Much of that work is led by FloSports Senior Producer, Graphics, Seamus Grady, who oversees graphics development and partner support, and Senior Manager, Broadcast Engineering LJ Helbig, who focuses on R&D and broadcast engineering to ensure long-term scalability. The suite is built entirely from industry-standard, future-proofed components, giving students hands-on experience with the same tools used by professional crews.
Standardizing Quality, From Workflow to Support Beyond hardware and graphics, the Production Suite is a consistency strategy - essential when FloSports supports more than 20,000 live events annually.
One big component is standardizing the graphics, Miller says, but it's also about standardizing the hardware and workflows happening onsite. That allows us to standardize our support operations inside the building. It's tough to support that many events when you have all sorts of different setups.
FloSports has also made 60-fps streaming a baseline expectation. If we supply them the right equipment and tell them how to use it, he adds, it's going to make all those conversations easier to get them up to 59.94 and higher-quality outputs.
That push has already paid dividends: within the Landmark Conference, the new production package has driven 100% 60-fps delivery - a 45% year-over-year increase - and a major boost in uptime reliability.
Turnkey Solution for the Next Tier of College Sports The idea for the Production Suite had floated inside FloSports for years, but the company officially mobilized in April 2025.
This has always been kicked around as a good idea, says Miller. It was only around April when we put our heads down and started putting it together with the thought that, Hey, let's get a pilot program launched for fall 2025. We put together a little Tiger Team inside the building, developed a custom graphics package, and lined up 11 institutions who were really interested in it.
Those schools represent the first wave of what FloSports envisions as a scalable workflow tailored for the DII/DIII ecosystem. Division I programs generally have the funding and production resources to figure a lot of this out, Miller notes. The need is in Division II and III.
Scaling From Pilot to Platform The pilot phase currently spans five conferences: Landmark Conference (Catholic University, Moravian College), NEWMAC (Babson College, MIT, Salve Regina University, Smith College, and Springfield College), SCIAC (Occidental College and Whittier College), SAC (Lenoir-Rhyne University), and the Lone Star Conference (Angelo State University).
The extended Landmark Conference partnership ensures continued investment in production resources across its 10 member schools.
FloSports has been an incredible partner in helping us raise the bar for production quality and storytelling across the Landmark, says Katie Boldvich, commissioner, Landmark Conference. This ongoing commitment allows our institutions to continue expanding their
