V-CAAI / HERO — BASEBALL

Broadcast exposure, highlight content, and player visibility — the infrastructure recruiting promises but rarely delivers. CAAI exists because small-school athletes are competing at a high level with zero access to the distribution and storytelling infrastructure that Power Five programs take for granted.

01 · The partner

CAAI as a new home for non-accredited and international programs.

Built by Kevin Jackson — VP at IACCA and AD at John Melvin Christian College — CAAI serves the schools the NCAA, NAIA, and USCAA leave behind. Faith-based programs, small colleges, international teams, religiously-exempt institutions.

02 · The competition

Baseball first. Twenty-plus schools across three founding conferences.

The GAC, GPAC, and NSAC give CAAI a real competitive structure from day one. CAAI launches with baseball — a sport where small-school talent routinely gets overlooked and where a televised national tournament can reshape the recruiting conversation overnight. Additional sports follow as the network scales.

03 · The exposure

The infrastructure recruiting promises but rarely delivers.

Every game streamed. Every athlete has highlight content. Every recruit has a reel. For schools trying to compete for talent without Power Five budgets, the media layer is the difference between invisible and signed.
