SVG — College SportsVideo Summit

Collegiate video productions have undergone a tremendous upswing in quantity and quality over the past few years, but the individuals responsible for the creative and technological expertise behind those changes have generally gone unrecognized. At the 2010 College Sports Video Summit, the Sports Video Group (SVG) and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) changed that. Outstanding college sports video productions from campuses across the country, and the staff who made them possible, were formally recognized during a ceremony in Atlanta at the College Sports Media Awards.
