Live Video/Audio
As a proud member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, the Cardinals provide live video/audio for most varsity programs via the GLVC Sports Network at glvcsn.com/jewell. Jewell strives to broadcast as many contests as possible but occasionally scheduling, facility and weather conflicts may prevent this. Video and audio services are produced by William Jewell students through BlueFrame Technology.
