Overview
- The Mid-American Conference announced a conference-wide rollout of iPad Pro and iPad Air devices for coaching staffs across all 13 schools.
- The deployment pairs the tablets with DVSport’s Rewind software to deliver instant multi‑angle playback, play tagging by situation, and telestration tools.
- Apple and the MAC said the goal is faster in-game adjustments, with hardware and software optimized for rapid review on the sideline.
- NCAA rules adopted in April 2024 allow up to 18 tablets per team but restrict them to displaying video from the current game with no external data or analytics.
- SEC, ACC, and Big Ten programs already use iPads, while the Big 12 and the NFL continue to rely on Microsoft Surface devices.
