Cal’s Twitch studio for student-athletes shows that creator content is the new recruiting hack

Division I schools use new stadiums, locker room renovations, and booster perks to attract blue-chip prospects to their teams, but the University of California at Berkeley has figured out a forward-thinking way to feed the development of its student-athletes. The Bay Area institution has teamed up with StreamU and UnlimitedIRL to build a studio that athletes can use to stream content on Twitch. Amenities at the new facility include professional lighting, Canon and Sony cameras, a video switcher for multi-camera streams, and a PlayStation 5 for broadcasting gaming content. All varsity athletes will be able to go live from the studio, and Cal has already produced a packed schedule. Across ten hours of weekly programming, content will include workouts, challenges, campus tours, and game-day watch parties. Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.
