SEC To Stream Again

When I was in Naples at the ITA Coaches Convention I heard someone mention that the SEC schools would be able to stream matches again this year after not being able to last year due to ESPN/SEC Network holding the streaming rights. I reached out to Tammy Wilson, the SEC's Director of Communications, and she told me that the SEC schools can stream tennis this year as long as the following guidelines are met.   

* Production must involve a multi-channel, multi-court offering for the viewer

* Distribution must take place via the institution's official athletic department website

* Any single-feed production will remain the property of SECN and be distributed via SECN+

* ESPN shall have the nonexclusive right to distribute highlights of any tennis event programs produced by SEC member institutions on any SEC-ESPN Platforms (or any other media)

* ESPN shall retain the nonexclusive right to produce and distribute any SEC tennis events (regardless of whether the SEC member institution is also producing their own program) for Distribution on any SEC-ESPN Platforms (or any other media)
