UW-Parkside will have live video streaming of home volleyball matches beginning with the Friday, Oct. 2 contest with Missouri S&T, beginning at 7 p.m. The school plans to incorporate more sports to be aired on B2 Networks in the near future.
The Great Lakes Valley Conference and B2 Networks has a multi-year partnership in place, naming B2 as the "official broadband broadcaster of the GLVC." Through the new agreement, more than 400 GLVC events per year will be seen exclusively through technology provided by B2 Networks.
“This is yet another step in giving our alums and fans, especially those who are outside the area and can't get to an event, a chance to follow Ranger athletics,” said UW-Parkside interim athletic director Tamie Falk-Day. “As technology progresses, we plan to have all of our home events on B2 very soon. People anywhere will be able to view a live Ranger athletic event and I'm very excited about that.”
Fans can purchase individual games for the standard price of $7. Special season pass pricing for basketball will be announced soon.
"The GLVC is pleased to partner with B2 Networks in this initiative," said GLVC commissioner Jim Naumovich. "Eleven of our 15 member institutions are participating in the B2 Networks agreement and are looking forward to showcasing their teams and the quality competition that is featured in the GLVC to prospective students, parents, fans and alumni . This is a great opportunity to increase the visibility and exposure for our member institutions and for NCAA Division II across the country."
B2 Networks continues to gain prominence in the world of NCAA broadcasting. In addition to the numerous universities working with B2 technology, fans of the GLVC, GLIAC, Big Sky, Pac West, Atlantic Hockey and RMAC can watch their favorite teams exclusively on B2.
"B2 Networks is excited to add the Great Lakes Valley Conference to our Network," said Bruce LeVine, B2 Networks' Senior Vice President. "This announcement will have long term affects for fans of Division II athletics as more sports than ever will be available via broadband."
