The ISC Sports Network and Marian University Athletics have announced a multi-sport broadcast package for the 2021-2022 athletics season. ISC will air 23 of the Knights’ regular season contests, which began on Saturday September 4 with the Marian football regular season kickoff.

“I’m very excited about expanding our partnership with ISC,” said Steve Downing, Director of Athletics. “The Marian brand has grown, especially in the last few years, and ISC allows us to take that even further by reaching a wider audience to increase our fan base. Last year’s partnership was a great opportunity for us to provide an excellent product for soccer, basketball, and volleyball viewers, and we are excited to continue the partnership again this year.”

ISC Sports Network has been a proud partner of Knights football since 2015, and has aired select volleyball and basketball contests since 2018. Last year, ISC partnered with Marian to air 41 Marian home games and 45 overall events for Marian, including the Crossroads League Tournament games for volleyball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and women’s soccer, as well as the entirety of the NAIA Opening Rounds in women’s basketball, volleyball and women’s soccer.

This season, ISC will cover the following teams in the regular season: women’s soccer (1), men’s soccer (2), volleyball (2), football (5), women’s basketball (6), and men’s basketball (7). Additionally, ISC will stream all postseason contests hosted by Marian, including Crossroads League Tournament games and NAIA playoff games. An announcement will be made later in the year to announce the plan for spring sporting events, following the releases of their schedules.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Marian University and the Knights again this season,” said Greg Rakestraw, Vice President of ISC Sports Network. “Marian has become one of the top athletic programs in the NAIA ranks and in all of small college athletics, and we are ecstatic to play a small role in that success. With no football being played last fall, the folks at Marian extended coverage to sports like soccer and volleyball, and we’re overjoyed to continue that relationship this season. And we can’t wait for the spring to bring our cameras to Marian baseball and softball for the first time.”

All games will be aired live and archived on the ISC platform. The ISC Sports Network is available on cable television lineups in select parts of the state, as well as their website iscsportsnetwork.com. The ISC Sports Network is available on mobile apps and OTT devices through Apple, Android, Amazon, and Roku.
