Trustee proposes resolution backing district ownership of UIL playoff streaming rights
Summary
Trustee Colin Witt said he discussed streaming broadcast rights with UIL and will bring a July resolution asking districts to assert ownership of broadcast rights through playoff rounds up to state finals; trustees plan a united presentation to the UIL Legislative Council in October.
Trustee Colin Witt updated the Board on his outreach to the University Interscholastic League regarding streaming broadcast rights for playoff games. Witt outlined a proposal for districts to own their broadcast rights through each playoff level up to the state finals and said he will present a formal resolution for the Board's consideration in July.
Witt told trustees the district aims to coordinate with other Texas districts to present a united position to the UIL Legislative Council in October. The update was informational; no formal board action was taken at the June 16 meeting.
If approved by the Board in July, the resolution would be a policy stance for coordinated advocacy to the UIL about media rights and district control over broadcasts prior to the state finals.
