Indiana University Athletics will become a national leader in 3D broadcast and technology with its first of its kind video, broadcasting and technology center for its students. All thanks to a donation of $5 million from 1981 alumni, Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and several other businesses. The Mark Cuban Center for Sports Media Technology will be housed in the west side of the new Assembly Hall and will open in spring 2017.
“Mark Cuban’s name is synonymous with innovation, technology, media and sports,” Director of Athletics Fred Glass said. “I cannot imagine a person better suited to be the namesake for, and godfather of, our Center for Sports Media and Technology.
