Northeast-10 Conference Joins FloSports Network In 2024

FloSports and the NCAA Division-II Northeast10 Conference (NE10), have entered into an exclusive multi-year media rights agreement to begin this Fall that will showcase the NE10’s 24 men’s and women’s sports on the upcoming FloCollege platform. This is the first media partnership for the NE10 and will provide the conference a global platform to live stream events and support the teams, universities, and student-athletes with a robust content engine across the web and social.

Through the agreement, FloSports will deliver more than 1,350 regular season and NE10 postseason events for men’s and women’s sports from 11 member institutions, bolstering its Division-II offerings on the FloCollege platform. Games will be made available for live and on-demand viewing and supported by an original content slate, including social media programming highlighting the many athletes who compete in the conference.

The NE10 boasts 30 team National Titles, the second-largest sports offering, and the second-largest social media following in D-II. In 2018, the conference launched NE10 NOW, the first of its kind direct-to-consumer streaming platform at the D-II level, reaching nearly three-quarters of a million people for the 2023-2024 season, a 171% increase over the six years of the league’s streaming platform. The media partnership with FloSports will capitalize on this homegrown audience.

“We are thrilled to kick off this relationship with FloSports,” said NE10 Commissioner Julie Ruppert. “This partnership positions the league for continued success in the digital streaming space and capitalizes on our multi-year effort to enhance the viewing experience for our fans. Since the launch of NE10 NOW in 2018, the conference has been at the forefront of DII in ensuring our audience had live access to our sports, making us an early leader in content nationwide. This agreement provides important resources to our institutions while allowing us the opportunity to become a central part of the FloSports and burgeoning FloCollege platforms. We remain ever grateful for the support of our membership during this process. They are on the front line every gameday, providing outstanding broadcasts and experiences for our student-athletes and fans.”

“The NE10 represents an attractive media market in the Northeast with a great history and legacy of sports and has already proven a strong audience connection with the success of its NE10 NOW platform,” said Chris Keldorf, Sr. Director at FloSports. “Its addition to our FloCollege portfolio reinforces a robust D-II offering for fans and helps fulfill our mission of developing the essential home for college sports at the D-II and D-III level.”

100% of the revenue generated from this partnership will be reinvested into NE10 member institutions and the conference, the agreement promises to foster equitable broadcast production standards and further enhance the quality of coverage across all sports, ensuring parity and inclusivity.

FloSports college programming reached more than 38 million people in 2023 with more than 51 million live minutes watched for NCAA conference partner events in the 2022-2023 season.
