DIGITAL AND STREAMING The Complete SET Agency took a look at the most active college football coaches in social:
- Of the 131 coaches examined, 120 were active on Twitter in some way, and all of the 120 have either actively posted original content or have retweeted team or school related content in the past two weeks.
- Leading the way was Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh and his 2.1 million followers, while Ohio State’s Urban Meyer was second with 1.9 million followers. Third was Miami’s Mark Richt at just shy of 500k, but no less than 25 college coaches gave solid followings of over 100,000.
- On Instagram the engagement is much less, but still 37 have active accounts, much more than any other group of coaches, owners of GM’s in sport in North America.
eSPORTS The Major League Baseball Players Association is going full swing into esports, announcing a partnership with UMG Media Corp. to launch the first-ever esports series of competitions for Major League Baseball players. Both active and retired players will compete against each other in esports play. The action begins with the MLBPA Fortnite Challenge with online matches on Monday and culminates with a live Championship in Las Vegas in December. Fans will be able to follow their favorite baseball players through the Challenge Series as the matches will be streamed through www.twitch.tv/umgevents. UMG also partnered with Caesars Entertainment and The Wall Gaming Lounge to host the Live Championship Finals where the Live Final will host 16 teams of Major League Players competing for the MLBPA Challenge Series title as well as cash prizes. A new report from ESPN states that applications from Splyce as well as for a joint venture between H2K Gaming/Paris Saint-Germain were declined for permanent slots in the European League Championship Series as Riot narrows down potential partners for its franchises. Around 24 applicants were invited to Berlin to meet with league owner and game dev Riot Games over the course of July, August and September. Splyce and H2K will now depart the league and both will be compensated with an exit payment based off the number of splits they've competed in the league, according to the report. The Los Angeles Valiant revealed the four schools that will clash as part of the festivities for the Overwatch California Cup, hosted by the Valiant and the San Francisco Shock. The event will feature collegiate esports teams representing UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, and UCI Esports with the showcase beginning Oct. 20 at Santa Ana. ROSTER MOVES
