San Diego, CA and Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) August 2, 2007 -- Veoh Networks (www.veoh.com), the leading innovator in Internet television, and Collegiate Images, the centralized licensing and rights clearance agency of still images and video focusing exclusively on college sports, have teamed up to create a dedicated NCAA Football channel on Veoh.com. Through this deal, Veoh will gain access to football game highlights each week to spotlight on the channel. The NCAA Football channel will kick-off in early September, in time for the 2007 season.

As part of the channel, Veoh is building a proprietary customization engine that will enable users to personalize their NCAA Football experience. More details of these unique and interactive elements will be unveiled closer to the launch.

"The mission of NCAA Football is to promote the sport of college football, and through this new NCAA Football channel from Veoh, we will be able to reach fans nationwide to share the great highlights from the football season."

Rich Routman, SVP of Business Development for Collegiate Images, added, ?We are very excited to work with Veoh in offering this incredibly innovative product, which will bring the best of college football to our fans? desktops, where they can view it when they want and how they want.?
