The Mid-American Conference (MAC) has announced a collaboration with Apple to equip coaching staffs across all 13 member institutions with iPad technology integrated with DVSport’s in-game video replay software during the 2025-26 season.
The MAC is equipping its programs with Apple’s iPad Pro with M4 and iPad Air with M3 models.
The MAC becomes the first conference outside the Power 4 to collaborate directly with Apple to bring iPad technology paired with DVSport software to sidelines, embracing modern, joint hardware-software solutions that enhance in-game strategy.

Our priority is to provide coaches and student-athletes with the tools they need to be successful.
Steinbrecher said that “real-time access to video delivers immediate insights, sharpens decision-making, and enhances performance. This collaboration with Apple equips our programs with the resources necessary to compete at the highest level, he added.
