NEW YORK -- The Mid-American Conference (MAC) today announced a new three-year partnership with WSC Sports, the leading AI-driven platform for sports content automation. Beginning with the 25/26 college season, WSC Sports’ technology will be used to automatically generate real-time content experiences, video highlights and key moments from all MAC Football, Men’s Basketball, and Women’s Basketball games.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in how the conference engages its fans and distributes content across digital platforms. Leveraging WSC Sports’ cutting-edge AI platform, the conference will be able to deliver high-quality, real-time content experiences to fans wherever they are, on social media, team websites, apps, and beyond.

The MAC’s partnership with WSC Sports unlocks a powerful suite of AI-powered capabilities:

Real-time, personalized content at scale: Automatically generate and publish video highlights from every MAC Football, Men’s Basketball, and Women’s Basketball game.

AI-powered archive access with DAM: The MAC team can breathe new life into its deep video archive through WSC Sports’ Digital Asset Management (DAM) capabilities. AI-powered tagging, search, and editing make it easier than ever to surface, organize, and repurpose historical moments unlocking richer storytelling and modern fan engagement opportunities.

Multi-platform publishing: Instantly distribute content to fans across all major platforms, social media, OTT, team and conference apps, and owned channels, ensuring highlights are where the audience already is.

New monetization and branding opportunities: WSC Sports' Graphics Suite allows MAC to scale sponsorship and brand integration efforts with automatic embedding of logos, branded messages, and creative elements across video content, unlocking new revenue streams and promotional formats.

The partnership, which will run through 2028, represents a bold investment in the future of sports storytelling. WSC Sports’ platform enables conferences, leagues, teams and broadcasters to scale their content operations, empower their media teams, and maximize reach and engagement, all while preserving creative control.

“We're committed to showcasing the incredible student-athletes and stories across the MAC, while keeping pace with today’s fast-moving digital landscape,” said MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher. “WSC Sports brings a level of innovation and technological sophistication that’s unmatched in the sports media space. Their deep understanding of what today’s fans expect and how to deliver it makes them the ideal partner for the MAC. This collaboration will allow us to create and distribute real-time, personalized content at scale ensuring our moments reach fans faster, smarter, and more meaningfully than ever before.”

“We’re honored to partner with the MAC, a conference known for its passion, tradition, and competitiveness,” said Aviv Arnon, Co-founder and Chief Business Development Officer at WSC Sports. “Together, we’ll ensure that every meaningful moment is captured and delivered in real-time, wherever fans are. As Gen Z continues to reshape how sports are consumed, this partnership is about creating fast, authentic, and personalized content experiences that drive deeper fan engagement. It also opens powerful new opportunities for the MAC to strengthen connections with sponsors through timely, high-impact content that fans actually care about.”
