News release: WSU is partnering with FanWord, an Al company, to create Al-generated stories like game recaps, feature stories, player bios and
"other editorial content."
Soon, some of the content you see produced by @WSUCougars will be generated by Al
PULLMAN, Wash. (October 5, 2026) - Washington State Athletics has signed a multi-year partnership with FanWord, the leading Al technology & storytelling company in college sports. As part of the agreement, Washington State will implement FanWord Assist, FanWord's proprietary Al-powered communications platform, to support storytelling efforts across every corner of the athletic department.
The platform helps communications teams dramatically reduce the time spent creating game recaps, feature stories, player bios, award nominations, transcriptions, and other editorial content. Built specifically for college sports, FanWord Assist allows college sports communicators to streamline a variety of everyday workflows, while maintaining full editorial control over every piece published.
"We are always looking for innovative ways to tell the stories of our student-athletes, coaches and programs," said WU Vice President and Director of Athletics Jon Haarlow. "FanWord's technology will help us elevate our storytelling while improving our efficiency."

*edit we had to make: On3 and Field of 68 no longer have a partnership as they announced in 2025
010
Mid-Major Madness @mid-majormadness.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Notable notes from our story:
On3 recently, a month ago to be exact, announced a partnership with prediction market Polymarket, which is currently being sued by the State of New York for “running an illegal gambling operation.”Hard to think that the same company – one that claims to be a media company on its own about page and has a partnership with the Field of 68 – that is partnering with a prediction market would have the best intentions by charging hopeful families nearly $500 for an evaluation, plus a yearly charge as high as $120 as long as you need a profile active for. In a time when youth sports are rife with scams and is becoming more and more for the wealthy, skepticism is expected at a move like this from On3/Rivals
