The university will begin the utilization of Skyview’s software platform this fall for inventory management of its football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball and coaches show broadcasts.

“We are thrilled to expand the Playfly relationship with Skyview Networks and their leading software to our new team at Nebraska,” said Jason Rathe, General Manager with Playfly Sports Properties. “Providing a well-executed broadcast experience from all angles is our continued goal across all of our collegiate properties.
