FAMU Athletics recently announced a new partnership with the multi-platform technology and digital media services company NeuLion (TSX:NLN) to deliver a more robust digital offering and array of services through a new athletic website, designed, developed and hosted by NeuLion. The new website is expected to launch in late February or early March.“We are very excited to partner with a company with a rock-solid reputation for athletic website development,” said FAMU director of athletics Derek Horne. “With our moving and developing the FAMU athletic brand forward, we knew there was a need for a world-class partner to provide the best web portal available, and we chose NeuLion,” he added.
FAMU has struggled in the past with its athletic websites and has changed its web address five to six times. With the transition to NeuLion also comes a new web address. When launched, the new web address will be www.FAMUAthletics.com. This will supplant the current athletic site www.FAMURattlerSports.com.
The primary problem with Rattler websites is that its content hasn't always been updated on a regular basis. For example, the current website lacks an updated roster or bio information for Rattler teams and it was mid-season before a current roster was put up for the football team. Such lapses have left Rattler fans to rely on other sources for accurate information on FAMU sports teams.
NeuLion provides the very latest in web and video publishing platforms and works with the NHL, NFL, NBA, UFC and NCAA schools. Some notable colleges who are powered by NeuLion technology include Duke, Ohio State, Oregon, Nebraska and LSU. In the MEAC, NeuLion provides web platforms for NC A&T and Del. State. Tennessee State is also powered by NeuLion.
