small colleges
big impactWe are small college sports. The allure of major colleges is strong, but there is a hidden gem in NCAA Division II, NAIA and community college sports. For marketers and sponsors, there is an untapped, uncluttered space in (so-called) small colleges that captures fans, students, alumni and campus administrators.
SCU can provide national reach from Alaska to Florida as well as targeted local to regional opportunities with individual conferences. Our conference partners encompass 499 colleges, 3.4 million students, and more than 10 million alumni. Best of all, our conferences control their own media, allowing for customized promotions to big audiences through broadcast, web and social.
