District pitches expanded Huddle streaming and new video scoreboards; presenters outline costs and funding sources
Summary
District staff recommended extending the Huddle video-analysis and streaming contract and installing new Nevco video scoreboards in stadium and gym; Huddle was quoted at $105,000 for three years and scoreboard equipment/installation estimates were presented with potential funding from naming-rights reserves and the facility sales tax.
District staff presented two related proposals: extend the districts contract with Huddle (video analysis/streaming platform) and replace aging LED scoreboards with modern video boards and integrated score tables.
Mr. Young described Huddle as a platform the district has used since 2019 for recording, breaking down film, and streaming games and practices. He said the vendor offered a three-year extension including additional cameras and services for $105,000; the vendor would credit roughly $15,000 for the remainder of the current year if the district signs the new deal. "The new deal would be three years at $105,000," Mr. Young said. He added that the vendor retains ownership of cameras and provides prompt upkeep and remote troubleshooting.
Separately, staff reviewed Nevco proposals for video boards and integrated scoreboards for CBI Bank & Trust Stadium and Theel Gym. The package includes a video board, permanent sponsor areas, scoreboards and a scores table with a broadcast-production curriculum for student multimedia classes. Product specifics listed equipment pricing (~$24,974) and an installation estimate up to $71,500; staff noted the vendor offered flexible installation timing and a seven-year parts warranty. One competitor quote (which excluded traditional scoreboards) reported a figure near $437,817, providing a point of comparison.
Funding discussion centered on using the CBI naming-rights reserve for immediate installation costs and applying the districts 1-cent facility sales tax to cover later work and multi-year projects. Board members and coaches discussed streaming access, recruiting benefits, multimedia-class integration and the lifecycle of scoreboard equipment.
