"We're thrilled the SEC, ACC, and Big Ten are utilizing iPad, as its unique capabilities and versatility make it the ideal solution to support coaches and student-athletes," said Scott Brodrick, an iPad product marketing employee at Apple. "With an unrivaled combination of advanced displays, powerful performance, portability, fast connectivity, all-day battery life and versatile accessories, iPad will let coaches and players make in-game adjustments and empower athletes to compete at the highest level."

The introduction of iPads is a result of upcoming NCAA rule changes that allow for video replay technology to be used on the sidelines of college football games, for the first time. The 2024 season begins on Saturday, August 24.

They’ll use any brand that offers to pay the most for the right to advertise. It has nothing to do with which device is better. And I’m an Apple fan.

boo less technology in sports please...
In MLB at least, the players rave about iPads in the dugout. They can pull up an opposing player's stats and pitch repertoire at any time. I think baseball gets the most value out of it.

I still wish Apple had gotten the NFL Sunday ticket contract. I think they really wanted it but freaked at the cost (even though they have plenty).

So Apple swooped in before Microsoft could make another deal like with the NFL.

I almost feel bad for Microsoft. For the first several years of that deal, the announcers called them iPads when they worked and Surfaces when they didn't.

Either one would work fine, but one is easier to develop and publish custom software for...
And the best clip ever was Brady (?) flinging the surface into the bench and breaking it when he watched an interception he threw. I'm a wee bit tipsy from dinner beverages, so details might be a bit off. But I still laugh at the distant memory.

Which is, of course, why the NFL uses clearly-branded Surface tablets
