Clemson’s Social Video Onslaught at the National Championship Game
The Clemson Tigers may have fallen just short in a thrilling National Championship Game but the program’s social media and video team were flying high all weekend long in Arizona. Members of the team discuss their strategy for producing content for various social platforms, lessons learned that apply to any sporting event year round, and how a work of fiction became one of their most popular pieces of content.

This academic year, the Missouri Valley Conference completely re-imagined its live video strategy, accelerating its member institutions to produce upwards of 400 live events, all using the ESPN3 model. How did the conference and its 10 diverse schools turn into a live video juggernaut in such a short amount of time? This in-depth case study offers a peek behind-the-scenes of the facilities that needed to build, the gear that needed to be purchased, and the training that needed to take place to make “The Valley on ESPN3” a reality.

More often than ever before, colleges are holding marquee events at neutral sites to draw a larger crowd or visit a unique venue. So what does that mean for your video operations if you are the “host” team? Lafayette College experienced this in 2014 when it hosted the 150th football meeting with Lehigh at Yankee Stadium. How did the Leopards video team work with Yankee Stadium on the in-venue presentation? What would they do differently? What advice would they offer to a school facing a similar opportunity?
