The agreement, with Statzhub being the “Official Digital Partner of the Horizon League,” will focus on the conference’s digital assets, highlighted by its growing presence on ESPN3.

The subscription-based model of Statzhub allows subscribers to customize all aspects of their app experience, and cater content according to their favorite teams and student-athletes through online delivery and a mobile phone application.

“Partnering with the Horizon League makes sense on a lot of levels,” stated George Thurner, President and Founder of Statzhub. “The Horizon League is committed to being nationally recognized as a NCAA Division I conference and the League offers an array of digital assets that our mobile app will benefit from.”

Thurner continued, “Statzhub gives fans the capability to follow specific student-athletes as well as teams across the Horizon League’s ten schools. We are filling the needs of family, friends and alumni to keep them updated on all their favorite Horizon League action, while also simultaneously helping them save time in following their other favorite high school, college and professional teams and athletes.”
