FloSports, OAC reach 5-year media rights agreement

AUSTIN, Texas — FloSports and the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) have entered into an exclusive five-year media rights agreement that will begin in the fall of 2025, bringing nine universities to the FloCollegeplatform. Through the agreement, FloSports will provide a global platform to live stream over 1,000 regular-season and postseason events annually. The partnership further reinforces FloSports’ commitment to Division III athletics – adding a ninth Division III conference to the portfolio – and the 18th NCAA conference to FloCollege in the fall.

The Ohio Athletic Conference is the nation’s third-oldest collegiate athletic conference, founded in 1902. The conference consists of nine members: Baldwin Wallace University, Capital University, Heidelberg University, Marietta College, University of Mount Union, Muskingum University, Ohio Northern University, Otterbein University and Wilmington College.

“This partnership with FloSports is an exciting opportunity for the Ohio Athletic Conference,” said Bethany Dannelly, Commissioner of the OAC. “FloSports has demonstrated a strong commitment to Division III athletics, and we are proud to team up with a national leader in digital sports media to elevate the visibility of our institutions, our teams, and most importantly, our student-athletes. This partnership also enhances how fans experience OAC athletics and reinforces our commitment to providing a high-quality, student-centered experience.”

FloCollege will deliver live and on-demand coverage for the OAC full sports calendar across 23 sports. Beyond live competition, FloSports will also invest in original content and storytelling initiatives online and across social media aimed at elevating the profile of OAC student-athletes and institutions. The OAC joins several of its regular non-conference opponents in partnering with FloSports, the industry leader and primary media rights partner for Division III conferences.

Michael Levy, FloSports SVP of Global Rights & Acquisition, added, “The OAC is one of the most storied conferences in Division III with a tremendous history in athletics. We’re excited to elevate exposure for its schools and athletes, while investing in their ability to produce high-quality events.”
