Verizon Fios to Broadcast Mason Athletics
Broadside Sports Editor Justin Creech click
Fairfax, VA—George Mason’s athletics department is getting ready to take a big step forward. They are currently working out a contract that would allow the school to broadcast its athletic events with Verizon Fios.
“They are coming into Fairfax City and we want to be a part of that,” said Mason Athletic Director Tom O’Conner. “We have a contract that we are working through right now for all our sports.”
Verizon Fios currently has broadcasting rights in 15 states including California, New Jersey, New York and Texas. Fios decided to broadcast Mason Athletics because a number of their subscribers come from the Fairfax area.
“George Mason is a great university,” said Orlando Martinez, the Senior Producer for Sports and New Business Development. “We have a huge number of local subscribers in the Fairfax area, so we thought it was a good fit.”
Mason has gained national notoriety after its Cinderella run to the Final Four. However, Martinez said that had nothing to do with the company’s decision to pick up Mason Athletics.
“We would’ve done it anyway,” said Martinez. “It was great that they went [to the Final Four] but we would’ve approached them anyway.”
O’Conner said that both parties approached the other about working out a broadcast deal.
“It was a combination of both,” said O’Conner. “We heard about them and sent out some feelers and they came and we had a series of meetings with them. We do have a contract with them for most of our sports and now we’re just working through some of the nuances of the contract.”
Verizon Fios is intriguing because of its innovative technology. Verizon offers analog service, or POTS. The common model optical network terminal has four analog phone jacks. Verizon does not do anything that would affect or disable the pre-existing copper lines that carried phone service or DSL.
Fios has already made a connection with the Mason family. The companied hired B.J. Koubaroulis to do play by play commentary. Koubaroulis is a 2004 Mason grad, and says he is happy to be back in the Mason family.
“I’m just happy to be involved,” said Koubaroulis. “Having graduated from Mason is a plus for me and I think Mason Athletics is the best kept secret.”
Koubaroulis has a wealth of experience in the local sports scene. As well as having been the Sports Editor for Broadside, Koubaroulis has also worked at the Loudon Times Mirror, and was the Senior Sports Editor at the Connection newspapers from 2005-2007. He has also worked for the Fairfax Sports Network as an on air talent for their weekly high school sports show. Koubaroulis feels both Mason and Verizon will benefit from their new partnership.
“It’s a mutual positive experience,” said Koubaroulis. “It’s an opportunity for Mason to get their name out and it also helps with recruiting. It helps Verizon because they are trying to get their feet on the ground.”
“We feel it is a great opportunity for all of our sports,” said O’Conner.
