Prior to Allen’s reported Disney offer, he closed on another media deal. As previously reported by AFROTECH, the Allen Media Group teamed up with HBCU GO for a 10-year media rights partnership with the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAA). The long-term goal behind the partnership is to broadcast all CIAA team sports on HBCU GO and Allen Media Group platforms.

“We’re proud to celebrate our 10-year partnership with the CIAA to amplify all of their team sports to our audiences,” Allen shared in a statement. “The rich heritage and legacy of the CIAA and the phenomenal athletes that have participated in the conference since its inception are a natural fit for HBCU GO.”
