"We're proud to be able to provide a live stats platform to the entire American Athletic Conference, which will create a consistent and uniform live stats experience across all of its campuses this year", said StatBroadcast president Nate Policar. "As well, having an entire conference on board allows us to create unique experiences such as a conference scoreboard and stats portal as well as guarantee the schools live stats coverage of their entire conference slate of games. Our previous experience at launching a conference-wide stats brand has been extremely successful at both the Division-I and Division-II levels and we're looking forward to creating similar value for the AAC through this initiative."
