Mt. Laurel, NJ – November 17, 2008 – College Fanz™ Sports Network has acquired the Victory Sports Network (VSN), the dominant voice of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the Victory Sports Network and the thousands of fans of NAIA schools that have made VSN successful to expand the coverage and awareness of the nearly 300 small college sports programs,” exclaimed Jason Dannelly, the founder of Victory Sports Network, which is based in Grand Island, Nebraska. “This is the biggest news ever about the Victory Sports Network and fans of all things NAIA.”
The acquisition continues the vision of College Fanz to become the single source for scores and information from over 1,450 colleges and universities in the United States. Fanz can post videos, photographs, and comment on their favorite teams and schools, participate in contests, and communicate with other fans in a compelling and ever-growing social network.
ESPN Founder Bill Rasmussen and College Fanz CEO said, “Adding the enthusiasm, relationships and resources of Jason and the Victory Sports Network to College Fanz continues our quest to develop a single site for fans of all college sports to enjoy. Jason has worked tirelessly since 2002 as a champion of NAIA sports and we are delighted to join him in providing broader coverage of thousands of dedicated student-athletes who represent NAIA schools.”
